Spread Your Ashes
An art project about the places that make a life, and where you might want to end up.
What if your ashes went to more than one place?
A grave or an urn keeps a person in one spot. This project imagines a service that would divide them instead, between the places that shaped someone: the city they grew up in, say, and a mountain they climbed once.
The service is imagined, but the places are real. Each of the 18 here has a hypothetical price split into the service, the permits and the travel. The Grand Canyon comes to $10,000. A spot in low Earth orbit is $300,000.
