Death pictures

Museum of Ethnology. Corona, 36

We are facing an atypical exhibition, anthropological, Although the raw material are black and white photographs. Of very serious people, the dead. La mort no canvia –s’atura la respiració, el cor deixa de bategar– però la nostra relació amb ella ha variat al llarg dels segles i aquesta col·lecció ho fa molt notori. Està composta per noranta fotografies originals (of 1840 fins a 2017) fetes per professionals, de soterraments, vetlatoris, i nadons i xiquets difunts vestits amb tota la fanfàrria de l’època, sols o acompanyats pels pares. Resulta evident que el que hui és un tabú tètric i de mal gust era, al segle XIX, un costum habitual que tenia l’objectiu de perpetuar el rostre (i l’ànima?) del difunt. Una mostra que reivindica la mort com a part de la vida. S.M.
