For my upcoming exhibition about the afterlife I am publishing a reader / magazine / visual essay which will be handed out for free on the cemetery on the day of the dead. My main question is: why do people need to believe in something. My point is not to look weather these believes are true, but what is there meaning and function, what role does it take on practically and how does they symbolize themselves in our contemporary society. The reader will exists out of photography, text, but also a curated visual essay about artists ( 9 possible answers ) who somehow work with theme's like: the esoteric, the mysterious, new age, looking for meaning in the beyond. The way they do it, it open, as a believer or a player with the idea. Other people who I am contacting is a.o, Ozlem Altin, Bianca Casady, Hanayo, Simone Gilges, Alexandra Leykauf, Joseph Marzolla. I really like your work and for this I think your image of wispering pines with the lady laying down and all the hands would suit perfect. I was wondering if you would like to make a contribution. Looking forward to hear from you. Hope you are good! X*mmm (melaniebonajo@gmail.com) Dear Shana,
