Miyu Kojima Creates Miniature Replicas of Lonely Deaths

Twenty six-year old Miyu Kojima works for a company that cleans up after kodokushi (孤独死) or lonely deaths: a Japanese phenomenon of people dying alone and remaining undiscovered for a long period of time. The instances first began to be reported around 2000, and are thought to be a product of increased social isolation coupled with a greying population.

Part art therapy and part public service campaign, Kojima spends a large portion of her free time recreating detailed miniature replicas of the rooms she has cleaned. A word of caution: although recreated without the corpses, some of the replicas can be quite disturbing.

Street Interventions by Pejac

“Elusive Spanish artist Pejac travels the
world creating street interventions, often integrating natural elements into
man-made structures through a combination of stenciling and trompe l’oeil
painting. His most recent projects have brought him to New York City for the
first time, where he has created two arboreal artworks in Bushwick and
Chinatown.”
