should we hide death?



Is it disrespectful to show him? I would not be a photographer and imagemaker, if I would leave out this important moment of life. Also, in our society there is too much silence about death anyway. It´s a bigger taboo than sex nowadays.




tenemos callarnos del muerte? ¿Es una falta de respeto que le muestran? No sería una fotógrafo y un artista, si no me presento este importante momento de la vida. Además, en nuestra sociedad acerca de la muerte de todos modos demasiado silencio.Es un tabú más grande que el sexo hoy en día.

I feel very touched from your paintings about death and that you have the courage to deal with those themes in that open way. Sylvia v.W.P.

Ich bin bewegt von Ihren Kommentaren und Photos. Das Thema Tod beschäftigt mich schon länger, weil mein Vater 89 Jahre alt wird. Die nackte unverhüllte und durch die graphische Bearbeitung Distanz schaffende Darstellung öffnet einen Zugang auf ganz behutsame Art zu diesem Thema. Ein Juwel unter ihen BIldern! Danke
