After three months in Green-Wood Cemetery’s historic chapel, [*After the End*](http://jamesr323.sg-host.com/after-the-end/?ref=jamesreeves.co) closed last night. Along the way, visitors have contributed thousands of reflections about reckoning with loss in the 21st century, and they’re such a rare gift of wisdom and grace—a reminder that we’re all walking wounded. Each response contains whole worlds of lives lost and lives still lived. Most of all, I was moved by their collective presence.

A light rain fell outside as [Candy](http://candychang.com/?ref=jamesreeves.co) and I sat before a masked audience and recounted the losses and questions that led to this project. Then we collected the scrolls from the altar and turned out the lights.

Many thanks to [Stephen Baker](https://stephenbaker.bandcamp.com/track/after-the-end?ref=jamesreeves.co) for the beautiful sci-fi hymn that filled the chapel. And [Cut Mistake](https://www.cutmistake.com/?ref=jamesreeves.co) for acoustic design, [Rooftop Films](https://rooftopfilms.com/?ref=jamesreeves.co) for video mapping, [KLN Studio](https://www.klnstudio.nyc/?ref=jamesreeves.co) for fabrication assistance, [Walter Wlodarczyk](https://www.walterwlodarczyk.com/?ref=jamesreeves.co) for the stunning photographs, [the NEA](https://www.arts.gov/grants/grants-for-arts-projects?ref=jamesreeves.co) for the support, and the vision, faith, and patience of curator Harry Weil and [Green-Wood Cemetery](https://www.green-wood.com/?ref=jamesreeves.co). Most of all, thank you to everyone who visited and brought this thing to life.
