Dying, Story 3: Claudia Bicen

Claudia Biçen, a San Francisco artist, interviewed nine hospice patients about their experiences of dying. She then created larger than life-size portraits of each patient, and on each person’s clothing, wrote out the text of their interview. At exhibitions, Biçen played audio clips of the interviews, so you can actually hear the voice of person you’re seeing. She called her project “Thoughts in Passing.”
