Private Project

Where the Lights Don’t Shine

This film is a journey into the afterlife to figure out how humanity creates, stores and destroys memories.

The rock art and our photographs in the albums have one source – death. But when does a memory turn into an image? How does memory work and which is more real: fact or our perception?
