From body-as-remains to body-as-seed. From urn-as-object to urn-as-process. From industrial funerary practice to reclaimed ritual.

 

The exhibition enacts a triple displacement: from preservation toward liberation, from rupture toward continuity, from passivity toward agency. From the dead body as waste to be managed toward a metabolic conception: the body as resource for the living.

 

The Vaisseaux presented will embody an ecology in which dying means becoming available again, rejoining cycles, nourishing again. The funerary object will no longer be a monument that perpetuates, but a protocol that accompanies.

 

This ecology also crosses cultures and memories. The body can become a political seed: choosing how one dies, how one returns to earth or water according to the memories of one’s culture, is an act of existence and resistance.
