Morte per absentia (Death in absentia) is a series of illustrations I’ve made for the course of Calligraphy, directed by professor Monica Dengo at ISIA of Urbino (PU - IT). The final project will provide an illustration, which will communicate and interact with a specific font, suitably designed for the immage.
Hereunder you may find some basic informations (from Wikipedia) about death in absentia:
A person may be legally declared dead (declared death in absentia or legal presumption of death) despite the absence of direct proof of the person’s death, such as the finding of remains (a corpse or skeleton) attributable to that person. Such a declaration is typically made when a person has been missing for an extended period of time and in the absence of any evidence that the person is still alive, or after a much shorter period, but where the circumstances surrounding a person’s disappearance overwhelmingly support the belief that the person has died.
A declaration that a person is dead resembles other forms of preventive adjudication, such as the declaratory judgment. Different jurisdictions have different legal standards for obtaining such a declaration and in some jurisdictions a legal presumption of death may arise after a person has been missing under certain circumstances and a certain amount of time.
