Artsy Films | Taryn Simon | A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters

Taryn Simon’s “A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters I-XVIII” traces 18 bloodlines around the world, from test rabbits in Australia to the living dead in India. In this collaboration with Artsy Films, Simon explores the inherent ambiguities and challenges of tracing, recording, and describing lineages—what she calls “a collision of order and disorder.”
