Director Minna Lund’s Diptyk looks at the Western culture of death and is an intimate and banal montage about a good death and what happens afterwards.

“Gorgeous people die too”
(Hannah Wilke)

A diptych is a work of art consisting of two separate parts that, when combined, form a unified work of art. These parts can be attached or displayed side by side.

The two parts of Diptyk:

1. En god död – A good death

2. Jag vill se oss dansa och städa – I want to see us dancing and cleaning
 

How is death depicted in Western art? What is a good death?

The work explores the social and spatial choreographies of a good death in Western society. Diptyk places itself in a continuum of artworks about death, raising questions about the medicalisation of death, communion, care, and our ability to deal with death.
