The idea of death in Colombia

I consider that the research question is based on three interrelated perspectives: How does one live and co-live with death? Can an artefact be created that mediates and functions as a source of experience based on the representation of the phenomenon of death? What happens when images that represent and allude to the same subject, namely death, are placed together in the same virtual space? My aim was to try to achieve a polyphonic tetralogue between images, based on this mediating artefact. To achieve different degrees of representation of how we experience death, through the conformation of this visual set of images, in the hope that it will confront the viewer with the body of images. It shows common places of our coexistence with death through the representation of death. It is about the Lacanian problem of the signifier: a signifier never defines absolutely; it only points, and tries to envelop the black hole that is the word, and that finally does not fail to show us the Lack, the Lost Object.
