KwieKulik often visited various cemeteries to document the people, graves and the very particular atmosphere to be felt in these places. On All Souls’ Day 1978, KwieKulik visited a cemetery once again. Kulik took photographs of candles on graves and chrysanthemums, typical seasonal plants considered ‘cemetery flowers’. Kwiek filmed Kulik taking pictures. Later they took some of the chrysanthemums and candles home to the PDDiU. Once at home, they placed them on the floor and photographed them within their new surroundings. Afterwards Kwiek filmed the wrinkles around Kulik’s eyes, that resembled little chrysanthemum petals — wrinkles caused in part by her constantly squinting whilst looking through a camera viewfinder. Then Kulik bared her chest indicating her heart. The next moment the camera tracked sideways revealing a burning candle.
