Artist: Sarah Fortes Mayer

Sarah Fortes Mayer has been looking at the way the linings  and shrouds for coffin's were made in the last century as Fortes Mayer is recreating a coffin to use in her performance P.S. When Fortes Mayer will be lying in the coffin. When Fortes Mayer dies her body is going to medical research so no coffin. This is her Post Script in advance of her death. The piece is made to confront the audience and to remind everyone that life is short. A Momento Mori.

Wooden coffin, felt, material, silk thread, Sarah Fortes Mayer


When there is no performance a replica body will be in the coffin.
