Is „before birth“ like „after death“? Marcel van Eeden does research on this issue, using a variety of templates like photographs, exhibition catalogues, newspaper clippings, magazines and illustrations from the time before his birth in 1965. According to these fragments of visions he produces drawings and paintings which – with their predominant darkness – seem to be hints from lucid dreams.

This is why van Eeden calls this project "The Encyclopedia of my Death".
