Descansar — Raquel S. / Noitarder
website | facebook | instagram
How do we express grief? What do we write in stone? Descansar (Resting) looks into cemeteries and into what happens o the dead body.
And what differences can be read in de cemeterial space? What rituals? Where? Which aesthetic decisions do we make when we bury a loved one?
Descansar aims at thinking about the tensions within this space: not only a place of memory and homage, but also a space of social, political, economic and gender differences.
