1.Requiem - Black figure, turned her back to us and silhouettes moving into the fog is an opening of the "Requiem" series. Dramaturgically this is part 1 in Requiem-Requiem aeternam dona his, Domine.
2.Dies irae - Dynamic and saturated driving force, multiple figures passes the feeling of confusion and fear before the upcoming doom. Its also shaped in the music.
4.Recordare - The photo shows two frozen figures, emotions are very restrained and directed inwards. It is a time stop for realising ones way. Recordare is a part of a pause taking for self-awareness.
5.Lacrimosa - "Lacrimosa" in Requiem os always the point of "golden section", the most personal and tragical. moment. This is only photograph in the series showing one person. THe image is placed simultaneously in two planes. The down falling light and the shape of the cross are also symbolic.
7.Requiem (Final) - Requiem by A.Schnittke is cycle where the last part exactly repeats the first one. But after all other parts has passed the same music acquires a different meaning and sound. The last photo of the series is also "Requiem".Thos photo has a similar composition with the first one but as if turned inside out. The main character faces us, like all the silhouettes, and here they are not black but white.
