Death Story – Clockwork of Life

For the Egyptians, eternal afterlife was as important as the brief afterlife. One of the secrets of Christianity’s success is certainly the afterlife expectancy. Indulgences could be bought for fear of sudden death in sin.

From faith and fear

Experts give an idea about the date of death. They tell timeless questions and fears. About faith, individual ideas and social rituals. A death story is also a life story.

Afterlife images are a part of life in many cultures. They advise to live well and rightly. In the Western world, this changed with the Enlightenment at the end of the 17th century. Modernity triggers questions and uncertainties, and new cultures of remembering are emerging as a result of technical progress.

In the 21st century, “life after death” enters the global internet. The deceased can live on social media and as an avatar. In Google Street View, bereaved people visit their deceased who were photographed by their Google car while they were alive.
