Verses of the Love-Dead Solo Exhibition 21.08.24 - 24.08.24 Nunhead Cemetery Chapel, London, UK Verses of the Love-Dead is a solo exhibition by Puer Deorum at the Nunhead Cemetery Chapel, activated by two new site specific live performance works. The curated performance and sculptural works, influenced by current global affairs, form a vigil to the martyrs we’ve lost, a zeitgeist to current time, and mortality. Symbols embedded within the collection of works interplay serving as a homage to the ongoing struggle for liberation in Palestine, the interconnected roots of genocide occurring simultaneously in countries such as Congo and Sudan, and the recent vanguard of student protests in Bangladesh which led to the fall of 15 years of fascist dictatorship. The title of the exhibition derives from an interpretation of the ancient Persian poem Layla and Majnun originally documented in written form in the 12th century by Nizami Ganjavi. The unfurling of the tale of two devotional lovers torn apart, lamenting their love, cut short by death.
