“The Life I Had”
2022-2023
The concept of reincarnation describes the notion that the soul is reborn into a new form after the death of a being. During this rebirth process, the soul may carry various attributes and emotions, including fears and phobias, which may be transferred to the new being. As a result, some individuals may associate the cause of their phobias with past events or the death of their previous self. However, the etiology of phobias can also be understood from scientific and psychological perspectives, which stands in stark contrast to the belief in reincarnation.
“The Life I Had” comprises the analysis of these two perspectives. The work is based on comments from the online platform Reddit, in which the authors describe their memories of the past live in connection with their current phobias. Their narratives of the past lives were each realized as film stills of three.
