Throughout
the centuries the contemplation, delight and veneration of the
horrific has been present in ancestral cultures, as shown in the
libations and sacrifices of classical antiquity, until our time with
its inherent commercialization. Sub umbra mortis consists of a series
of digital collages that deal mainly with death understood not as an
antagonist of life, but as a dark reflection parallel to our
existence. An attempt to recover the spirit of Grand Guignol, the
cathartic experience, terror as the origin of deep thoughts within a
theatrical representation of the macabre.
