In the Good Mourning project we enacted an improvised mourning ceremony in which each
participant brought an object or an idea that they mourned. The parameters of
the project were to come in black
and white attire and bring one object to mourn. The choice of the
location was an outdoor space to
mimic burial ceremonies. The concept of this project developed after the
idea that artistic production seems to be a constant series of mourning past
trends and then resurrecting and moving forward to new artistic styles. In
addition as a society we seem to be constantly mourning identity, home,
belonging, durable goods, the environment, traditional communication, economic
stability etc. Non-pathological mourning becomes a place of deconstruction of
such social ideas while as a play keeping an idiosyncratic element where the
collective worries melt with the individual experience.
