How can you be surprised by life

7 February - 3 March 2012

“An investigation of the past informs us that life is random and uninterested in human needs and desires.

​So why do we humans fabricate life to give an appearance of order and certainty?

​Can people embrace the sheer chance of entering and living life?

​Could that in turn create an easier acceptance of our own death, the only real certainty of the living?

​How Can You Be Surprised By Life is the documentation of a medical procedure carried out on myself to ameliorate a potential life threatening occasion.”

-Paul Ferman, 2012
