A portrait of a director of mortuary in Milan.

Collaborators is my project about people who work in funeral business. I started this project as my own inverstigation of my fear of death and I wanted it to be focused on people's life energy and unique attitude to death that they face everyday. I started working on it in Milan when I traveled to Ukraine on special car who transported the body. I spent 24 hours in that car with a coffin behind and realised that life and death will always cooperate. Now I am searching for more people who work in funeral business in France/Belgium. If you can share the contact I will appreciate. 

Probably death is more contolled and organized then life...
