Memento mori is a broad and understudied cultural phenomenon and
experience. The term "memento mori" is a Latin injunction that
means "remember mortality," or more directly, "remember that you
must die." In art and cultural history, memento mori appears
widely, especially in medieval folk culture and in the well-known
Dutch still life vanitas paintings of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries. Yet memento mori extends well beyond these points in art
and cultural history. In Death in Documentaries: The Memento Mori
Experience, Benjamin Bennett-Carpenter suggests that documentaries
are an especially apt form of contemporary memento mori.
Bennett-Carpenter shows that documentaries may offer composed
transformative experiences in which a viewer may renew one's
consciousness of mortality - and thus renew one's life.
