The Poetics of Thanatology (Found insects on the table)

This picture belongs to series with the same title and is dedicated to insects. It refers to Thanatology - the scientific study of death, which investigate many aspects of death: forensic, post mortem, psychological and social. I use the word metaphorically and question our relation to non-human death. The insect lying on the table like a heap. In connection with Thanatology we could read the table as dissecting table. The photograph is taken in my home made “macro-studio” where I use 6 armed fiber optic light sources.
