The inevitable finiteness of being and things, and the obsession with their evocation through mise-en-scene and images, as well as the idea of their absence through foreshadowing or signs, are starting points for a dialogue, that seeks, in its elementary intention, to explore such celebrations and evocations, through customs/rites and myths, as well as the history of the image and its relationship with nature, as a parallel of vitality, in an exercise of reflection on the way we understand the timeless theme from “Memento Mori”.
