What actually happens to all the pictures we constantly take of ourselves after we’re dead? | With works by Jesse McLean, Karin Fisslthaler, Sergio Oksman, John Smith, Bjørn Melhus, Tasman Richardson

What actually happens to all the pictures we constantly take of ourselves after we’re dead? The Invisible World deals with the afterlife of things in a materialistic world. In Satellites teenagers document the strange ritual of a symbolic death hundreds of times. A ‘found’ box of personal belongings is the starting point for a reconstruction of two unsuccessful artist’s lives in A Story for the Modlins. Dad’s Stick analyses three objects received from the artist’s father. Apocalyptic visions of the internet are transformed into a horror scene in Sudden Destruction. And The Life of Death is a homage to the ghostly apparitions of television.
