Photographs of the Memory:

A series of close-up pictures of flowers and other objects placed in the tombs as offerings to the dead, in order to show the passage of time and the progressive loss of the memory of the deceased people through the tracks left by the living persons who make the offerings.

 

At the moment, the author is taking a series of photographs in different cemeteries to complete this proposal. Until now, images have been taken in Italy, Spain, England, Scotland, Sweden, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay.
