Everywhere at the end of time

Here we experience the first signs of memory loss.Everywhere comprises over six hours and 30 minutes of music and portrays a range of events in a patient’s life, including joy, despair, confusion, nostalgia, anxiety, horror, isolation and death. (…) On the work’s characterisation of mortality, writer Alexandra Weiss described the series as challenging to Western notions of death. (…) The segment ends with a minute of silence, to represent the patient’s death. Although the moment evoked varying interpretations from commentators, the most accepted theory by critics and medics is that it represents terminal lucidity, a phenomenon where patients suffering from neurological conditions experience a return of mental clarity shortly before death.
