analyze: map out. research. explain. Concentration in unfinished catacombs project. Interview. Find out specifics of select gravesites. History. Creation. Whats up with the dwarf tower? Whats up with ramp to creepy mortuary cellar? Document historical mortuary processes.
intervention: -thousands of flowers everywhere, scatter via helicopter?
-uncovering untold secrets of cemetary beauracracy
-expose inner workings
monument: -underground living environments, catacombs for the living.
-Sleeping pods.
-Project figures of men in suits and sunglasses at various areas in cemetary, flicker on and off
-3D images of deceased at their gravesites. Projected. They can be turning around, talking but no words come out. Option to record message before death and have floating 3D image instead of gravemarker. Maybe hovering over a platform. Press a button, code and recorded message sounds.
-New ways of commemorating, remembering the dead.
-New forms of burial
-Tall, clear, pyramidal-shaped structure to fill with ashes. "Collective crematorium". Maybe a doorway to step inside, glass walls, small opening at top to let light in. Reminiscent of Egyptian pyramids. Maybe can put small momentos in with ashes (colored glass bottles, messages, shells, seeing eye glasses..)
-Music sounds when you walk through certain areas of cemetary. Soothing opera. Classical. Old-timey.
-Crystal chimes in certain trees.
-Cemetary as sanctuary. Cemetary as in-between world. Cemetary as passageway.
-Underground altars. Small spaces carved into rock wall to set up small ceremonial altars in rememberance. Entrance through pyramid.
