Description: | In the year 2000 Battersea Arts Centre, London, ran a season on Matter of Life and Death.
Nabil Shaban, actor, artist and poet, was commissioned to take part by creating a tomblike installation to exhibit his artwork and poetry on the theme of death, which he called THE NABS NECROSPACE.
The design of the Necrospace was based on a 5000 year old megalithic passage tomb on top of the Bricklieve Mountains in Ireland. The tomb was constructed inside the arts centre bookshop.
In an annexe of the Nabs Necrospace was a video booth, where visitors to the exhibition were invited to describe on camera how they would like to die.
CAUTION: Parental Guidance. Potentially disturbing imagery.
All graphic art created by Nabil Shaban, and can be found in his book "Dreams My
Father Sold Me"....

Nabil Shaban thanks David Jubb of the Battersea Arts Centre for commissioning the Nabs Necrospace.
Nabil also thanks all the people who spoke on camera about their preferred manner of death. | Subjects: | Theatrical productions--England--London--20th century | Source: | Battersea Arts Centre | Creator: | BAC | Identifier: | http://www.bacarchive.org.uk/items/show/... | Go to resource |
