Edgar Martins : Siloquies and Soliloquies on Death, Life and other Interludes

Text des Künstlers:

My decision to work in the National Institute of Legal Medicine stems from my interest in highlighting the historic and symbolic role of one of the places that, in the context of modernity, institutionalized—through scientific practice and judicial discourse—the representation, analysis and scrutiny of death and the dead body.

“Siloquies and Soliloquies on Death, Life and Other Interludes” proposes to scrutinize the tensions and contradictions inherent in the representation and imagination of death, in particular violent death. Correlatively, this series explores the decisive but deeply paradoxical role that photography—with its epistemological, aesthetic and ethical implications—has played in death’s perception and intelligibility.
