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. [x]

One time in high school I was waiting to talk to the Vice Principal and this other kid came in and sat down next to me. He said “What are you in for?” And I said “Oh, they just want to know if it’s cool if I miss my classes tomorrow to run sound and lights for a presentation in the auditorium. What are you in for?” and he said that he stabbed a kid with a screwdriver. I told him we led very different lives and he agreed.

little bad memory things :)

not knowing if you said something out loud or if you only thought it

“did i already ask you that?”

“what did you say”

raising your hand and putting it down multiple times in class because you can’t remember your question/comment

pausing in the middle of simple tasks because you can’t remember what you’re doing

“where is my [object i had in my hands literally 30 seconds ago]?”

not knowing someone’s name even though it’s the 5th time you’ve met them

rereading/rewatching books/movies because you can’t remember basic plot details

forgetting to look at the list of things you need to remember

forgetting the end of your sentence before you even start it/trailing off

every other day i must drag my body past these horrifying fruit effigies the next door produce shop has put up in an effort to deter the harvest god from taking back the seasons fruit. again and again i must look into their wild eyes, see their many gnashing teeth and shudder - the apples inside remains fresh and crisp, but at what cost

[lifeonvegaa]

what bothers me most is how the background of all these photos doesn’t match up

[iguanamouth]

thats because every time you look away from these photos they get closer to the screen
