Afterlife

Episode 4 of 4

Collection of lockdown recordings pondering questions around birth, death and the afterlife, with some interruptions. From 2021.

Concluding her look at Mortality, Bridget ponders 'The Afterlife’.

Like many of us forced to work from home during lockdown, Bridget recorded this series herself in her house, and in her local park, on a pre-sanitised recording device sent to her in the post. Batteries weren’t included. She had to buy them all herself.

In a collection of informative, personal and absurd recordings, she confronts the difficult questions most of us spend our lives avoiding - all whilst being interrupted by cats, bad WiFi, life admin and her own dead self from beyond the grave.

If you are mortal, then this is the show for you.
