Life Before Death
The Life Before Death was first initiated in 2006 to create greater public awareness about end-of-life issues.
With innovative and collaborative solutions, it seeks to de-stigmatise death and dying by spurring various ‘die-logues’ through the use of digital media, art, design, film, photography and research. 2 of the initiatives include:
Last Outfit: 23 diverse participants from all walks of life, all ages and creeds, all manner of fashion sense model their choice of a Last Outfit. Each is an expression of Life – from formal to informal, dressed-up to dressed-down and everything in-between.
