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.
