Cemeteries are natural open-air theaters with their own codes, esthetic, hosts, and organization that profoundly reflect the culture and beliefs of the humans living nearby. This permanent cohabitation of life and death is what constitutes their dynamic and strangeness, as well as their force and photogenic qualities. Behind their walls we find slices of life, singular destinies, and intimate stories that we seek to capture to the rhythm of the seasons.
