An exhibition that intends to explore the nature of our lives and the remains they leaves behind - whether they be physical, metaphorical or metaphysical. We live on in many ways after our death; perhaps spiritually but almost certainly as memories and objects that we have owned and and marked in both subtle and clear ways. It can takes decades, or even centuries for a person to completely sink into oblivion.
The relics we leave behind particularly serve as records of our 'progress', representing us at particular times, over certain periods that may span a lifetime or just a few days. It is this notion of records that particularly ties the exhibition to it's location in a museum where the remains of the long dead rest alongside the movement of the living, carrying on the life of their creators and animators in the consciousness of their stream of observers. The exhibition of records can take many forms, all of which preserve in some way the people or moment that created it.
