Rituals of Disorder

This multimedia installation piece has been created by Liberal Arts and Science students as part of a module which looked at contemporary approaches to life, death and aging.

Drawing influence from SciArt and the work of artists including Damien Hirst and Christine Borland, the work comprises a film - produced, recorded and edited from scratch - with self-made plinths, found objects and integrated quotes taken from interviews with various experts on the subject of death. Interviewees include anatomist Professor Alice Roberts who discusses cremation; a visual artist; a psychotherapist; and a psychology scholar.

Admission free, no booking required.

Presented by Liberal Arts and Sciences in partnership with Research and Cultural Collections as part of University of Birmingham's Arts & Science Festival (16-22 March 2015), a week-long celebration of ideas, research and collaboration across campus.
