About
All of the pieces try to give voice to people no longer on the planet - artists like Camille Claudel, Francis Poulenc, Wanda Landowska, Pierre Bernac, Paul Eluard - and also to people lost in the 9/11 attacks and to artworks by painters and sculptors no longer alive.
So 'Here/after' gives a nice double play on the idea of the spiritual hereafter - that these voices are here even after the sources are gone, that we can 'hear' them after they are gone.
