This project is conceptually grounded in John Berger’s poem "They Are the Last” from his book Why Look At Animals. The title "Now That They Have Gone" echoes Berger’s existential reflection on animals, disappearance, and the world after human ascendency.

I started this project in my M.Sc. exploring a similar disappearance: the passing of my grandmother. Her frail final presence, after suffering from dementia, became a starting point to think about endings on a larger scale.

In this project, I bring photographs of my grandmother on her deathbed into open nature, combined with an image of the Voyager Golden Record, which was sent into space in 1977 as a small message from humanity to the cosmos.

I see her bed and the Record sitting side-by-side. One is an intimate trace of a single life, and the other is an ambitious trace of all human lives.

I place these images in human-absent environments and re-photograph them, as if visiting a post-human landscape where our memories lie exposed to other forms of life and time.
Through this process, I hint at, and explore, how non-human life interacts with these traces over time.

Designed as a pitch for the full exhibition, this video offers an emotional glimpse into the project’s themes of existentialism and mortality, interdependence, and the persistence of more-than-human worlds.
