Resumo

What do we write in stone? What marble books, what flower beds, what photomontages do we use to honour the people who died? What aesthetic decisions do we make? DESCANSAR [To Rest] is based on cemeteries: places of homage, for one thing, but also where one is able to read social, political, economic and gender differences, among others. A cemetery is a highly performing place: on the one hand, ritualistic; on the other hand, mundane (there are cat food bowls, brooms behind graves, public notices). It is also a threshold: the worlds of the living and of the dead coexist. There’s a symbolic, imaginary, religious and ghostly presence. And a slow, unstoppable movement: decay. A cemetery is a place of crossing and tension, and therefore imminently theatrical. — Raquel S.
