Hereafter

Hereafter is a video sculpture that explores memories and trauma. The work comprises of a plinth constructed out of baltic birch plywood built at human scale, an inverted plexiglass crown, and a 5-minute text-based video loop, played through a portable device. The plinth houses the video playback and supports an optical prism that uses the Pepper’s Ghost illusion to display text. Hereafter is intended as a monument to bereavement, and generates an open dialogue with the viewer.
