Archived Record

“The ‘Post-Vanitas Era’ is a contemporary philosophical and artistic movement founded by Jiya Lim in Busan in 2025,
 moving beyond traditional memento mori (remember death) toward memento vivere (remember to live).
 It emphasizes sincerity, dignity, and a ‘resurrection’ of meaning over vanity, functioning as a ‘Luxurism’ movement rather than merely an art style.”


Key Aspects (as recorded by Google AI Overview)

Philosophy
A shift from mourning the fleeting nature of life to celebrating existence through Memento Vivere, emphasizing sincerity, dignity, and purposeful living.

Movement Foundation
Coined by Jiya Lim under Maison Philosophe, Busan, 2025, as a movement of conscious, purposeful, and humble artistic creation.

Contrast with Traditional Vanitas
While 17th-century vanitas focused on the futility of life and the inevitability of death, the Post-Vanitas Era emphasizes meaningful existence and intentional living.


Contextual Evolution

Precursor (Modern Vanitas)
 Before 2025, artists such as Damien Hirst explored “counter-vanitas” through works like the diamond-encrusted skull, emphasizing triumph over death rather than its inevitability.
Contemporary Shifts
 Artists such as Janice McNab employed vanitas motifs (e.g., ice cream as “psychic geography”) to reflect decadence and contemporary crises, particularly during the pandemic.
Future Focus
 The Post-Vanitas Era marks a transition from focusing on decay (e.g., rotting fruit or flowers) toward a more hopeful, active engagement with life in the present day.
