The Centre of Attention
​
A catafalque surrounded by art works. Still lives. A vase of lillies. An operative at a computer. The light is subdued.
The opperative approachs you and explains what we have to offer.
'Would you like to select some music, then lie down and rehearse your funeral?'
​
What would you choose for your swansong?
The music fills the space while you the visitor lay on the catafalque / plinth.
As you lie in repose, in state, your staus is elevated to that of a work of Art.
