‘Nowhere in the Everywhere’ explores the funeral meal as a framework for staging the corpse as a social body.
It depicts a world in suspension, where corpse mimesis is only temporarily perceptible and must therefore be continuously repeated.
I view mourning rituals as unmet liminal experiences that enable identification with the dead,
while simultaneously showcasing the distinction between the self and the other.
The encounter between the living and the dead is described by Thomas Macho as follows:
"A balancing act on the fence between wilderness and civilization, which may only be dared at certain times but cannot be arbitrarily suspended either."
