Necropagnosia

Description

Necropagnosia (Greek: "necro" = "dead, dying", "agnosia" = "not knowing")

Necropagnosia, also called corpse blindness, is a phenomenon that is commonly subconsciously (but often selectively) practiced throughout contemporary society where the ability to acknowledge and feel sympathy towards a corpse has been dulled by repeated exposure to images of, and or contact with, deceased and decaying flesh. Many cases are commonly affiliated with exposure to countless roadkill on a day to day basis to the point where one may completely ignore the corpse of a once living creature and may go so far as to be angered by it's inconveniencing presence.


As an artist interested in the totality of the human psyche, conscious and unconscious, I often wonder if the phenomenon described above will have adverse effects on our ability to preserve a stable mind.
