Unterstadt explores the relationship between image and death through a narrative structure organized in a prologue, three chapters and an epilogue. Each part is developed inspired by a visual code or a transmission medium of the image.

Unterstadt is a reflection on what I believe is a process of dehumanization through the representation of death decontextualized of the bodies. And how this disembodiment of death is accelerated through the transmission and distribution medium of the image.
