Last Tuesday midnight marked a special moment, not exactly for the living, but for the dead.

Interdimensional Love - The afterlife project *********************************************** Oriental legend has it that anyone departing from this realm may enjoy a reincarnation - the question is “how long does it take, milliseconds, minutes, decades?” Within the next days I'm presenting some impressions of my latest multimedia feature - Interdimensional Love. For long, I didn't dare to tackle this challenging project, as it bears a complex jumble of superstition, religion, and philosophy — or in short ’human devotion’. Just until I’ve eventually discovered all crucial elements when residing in Taiwan. Believing in the cycle of life, death, and reincarnation, devotees want to make absolutely sure that the departed enjoy a pleasant afterlife by feeding their spirits and burning lavish gifts.
