“Separation between past, present and future is only an illusion…”
Albert Einstein on ’The Theory of Relativity’
Currently I am exploring the Latin phrase ‘Memento Mori’ which translates to
"Remember your mortality", "Remember you must die" or "Remember you will die".
I have been experimenting with various mediums to generate a sequence of prints, photos and video that reflect upon this phrase.
Through former study into the horror genre, I have attempted to express some of the similar feelings one may have whilst watching movies such as Tod Browning’s Freaks, F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu and Alfred Hitchcock‘s Psycho.
I have also tried to encapsulate a similar mise-en-scene within my work with the use of lighting/shadow and editing techniques.
