description
Mode of life is significant part that remains after person’s death. Everyday life is imperceptible like a shadow, but characterizes a person. Connection with daily reality is teared after death. The way of living of a deceased and most of the things that surrounded him are subject to change, appropriation and disappearance. It would seem that mode of life continues to exist, but can it go on without its owner?
Using habitual objects allows to combine world of living and world of dead, disguise the fear of death, separate reality and simulacrum. But is this separation necessary? Is this camouflage an escape from the demise or not?
