Jae Rhim Lee’ s The Infinity Burial Project had its Los Angeles debut. "A modest proposal for an alternative postmortem option which promotes and facilitates the process of corpse decomposition and toxin remediation,” The Infinity Burial Project expanded Lee's work from art, into both the environmental technology and funerary industries. The project featured the training of existing edible mushrooms to decompose and remediate toxins in human tissue and explored the relationship between death denial and environmental degradation in our postmortem practices.
