Death as a inherent part in the experience of living, is presented in this project as the mistery it conteins, not only as the death itself but through the image of the mummy: incomplete death, half death, faces and bodies with an expression that border the half point between what was and what is not.

At this video we have worked an closeness to the mummification from the moving image, where we wanted to “touch” the bodies of these mummies through light.

These images were taken at the Museum of Mummies in San Bernardo – José Arquímedes Castro Mausoleum, San Bernardo, Cundinamarca, Colombia.
