Cemetery Picnic

Yesterday we went through with our idea about a cemetery picnic. We made a gravestone of cardboard and wrote a name of a imaginary person on the "grave". Then we sat down on the green outside the entrance of K3 and then we put dishes on a blanket that we had brought. We had also flowers in a vase next to our "grave". At the time of lunch we were ready to start having our little picnic. While eating some good sandwiches and cookies we tried to sense the feeling of eating next to this grave. Actually it didn't feel really weird to have picnic, but I think that if we would have the picnic in an actual cemetery it would probably feel differently. Anyway it was a different experiece that really made you reflect on the cemeteries and death. People passing by didn't really react on the scene that we had set up, but a few looked a little confused even if they tried to hide it well.
