Series – Immaterial Colors

by photographer Quang Lam

Category : Konzept    Info : 2015

spiritual society object

votive:
Which belongs to the vow. Votive object, object offered to fulfill a vow.
Term of antiquity. Said of objects of all kinds that are suspended in temples, in memory of some favor obtained from gods.

Bright colors and marked as luxury items, they will provide a comfortable life in the hereafter for the one who is leaving.

There are the family members, a plane, a boat, a house. Made of paper, they were burned. Dematerialized, they can accompany the deceased on the quiet river that must lead to the source, where the colors will be only of white purity.

This moment of transition will be completed and the two worlds will no longer have links but only in the memory of the living people.

Original text in French

Votif :
Qui appartient au voeu. Objet votif, objet offert pour acquitter un vœu.
Terme d’antiquité. Se dit d’objets de toute espèce qu’on suspendait dans les temples, en mémoire de quelque faveur obtenue des dieux.

De couleurs vives et marqués comme des objets de luxe, ils assureront une vie confortable dans l’au-delà pour celui qui part.

Il y a les membres de la famille, un avion, un bateau, une maison. Fait de papiers, Ils ont été brulés pour se dématérialiser. Ils peuvent accompagner le défunt sur le fleuve paisible qui doit les mener jusqu’à la source, là où les couleurs ne seront que de pureté blanche.

Ce moment de transition du temps de deuil sera alors achevé et les deux mondes n’auront plus de lien si ce n’est que dans la mémoire de celui qui en a fait le vœu.
