Love, Mortality and the Moving Image

In their use of home movies, collages of photographs and live footage, moving image artists explore the wish to see dead loved ones living. This study closely explores emotions and sensations surrounding mortality and longing, with new readings of works by Agn s Varda, Pedro Almod var, Ingmar Bergman, Sophie Calle, and many others.
