We are facing an atypical exhibition, anthropological, Although the raw material are black and white photographs. Of very serious people, the dead. Death does not change - breathing stops, the heart stops beating – but our relationship with ella it has varied over the centuries and this collection makes it very noticeable. It is caccompanied by ninety original photographs (of 1840 fins a 2017) made by professionals, de soterraments, vetlatoris, and deceased infants and children dressed with all the fanfare of the time, alone or accompanied by parents. It is clear that what is now a taboo and in bad taste was, in the nineteenth century, a common custom that had the goal of perpetuating the face (and the soul?) of the deceased. A show that claims death as part of life. S.M.
