GOOD GREIF is an ongoing investigation into the processes that deal with loss and grieving as an attempt to regain a sense of control and ownership of the self. The installation aims to open up notions of societal resistance surrounding the actuality of death and explores the personal experience of human grieving in its stages through aggressive, cathartic, comedic and masochistic measures. These drunken performative rituals are symbolic of the devices or acts that one conjures in order to reconstruct life after death, enabling oneself to keep kickin' on 'n up the dust.
