The topic of my research project is: 'An investigation of the eroticisation of death and dying in contemporary visual art cinematic practices'. In essence it involves an investigation of what may motivate an artist in desiring to find beauty in what is most fearful. The aims of the research are: i) broadly - to contribute to critical understandings concerning the place and importance of this topic within 'alternative popular cultures' - or 'sub-cultures' - as manifested particularly within contemporary visual art practice but also in music, film, television and some forms of performance; and ii), to develop a body of creative works capable of making a strong personal contribution to contemporary visual arts culture, through video, photography, performance and installation.
