have thought about the relationship they have
the photographs with the graves
I remember the first time I thought something
well and I got a lot of attention
something that has to do directly with
life for example the photographs of
life have a direct relationship with
the graves with something that we
we relate to death
a few years I had the opportunity to be
in paris in montparnasse a very neighborhood
cute and I was in that cemetery
neighborhood for a week I dedicated myself to
record the sounds of the graves of
some characters that called me the
attention between the July cortázar game
book and others I could make a record with
all the sounds that came out of the
tombs of these characters and after
one time he started calling me a lot
the attention that the tombs of
interesting what do they keep and what
is what they store us we could
think that from the treatment that
we give the dead the way in the
which for example is a materialization
organized is to organize memory has
something to do directly with a process
cognitive that catches our attention
since time immemorial
for example when we bury
our dead we can assume that it is
from that moment that the
societies begin to locate themselves in a
particular place no longer do
those wanderers who are walking and who
they are looking for a place to stay
but it is from that the dead
they come in contact again with the
land that the groups return to stay
settled right in that place because of
there they can not move anymore they can not
leave their dead but not only
but also loses the tombs
the way we give the treatment
to the dead we started to
build the architectures one of the
more archaic and primitive activities
we have as humanity tombs
they are the primary architectural process
the way we organize the
stones the bones and all the rest
instruments with which we are going
doing a tribute to who does not
is but that being there that either
is the way in which we are born let’s say what
that we understand how
architecture
and the processes that we can
find and all the civilizations in
almost all forms of culture are the
totems the totems that are this kind of
structures that are born from a place
special where something specific happens
that people have to remember wants
say that the graves have something that
it must be studied that it must be
read something that informs us and that we
says certain data that we should
to take into account if we go by
commercial example we will find
totems is to say these architectures that
are watered by putting these places in
where we can find certain
information that tells us something in
particular
it is thanks to the treatment of the tombs
that we can recognize in addition
what is the difference between certain
cultures for example the Roman tomb
all the information is displayed
is out is in sight to
difference for example from the Egyptian the
Egyptians the Egyptians forgiveness have a
tradition in their tombs to put all the
information inwards if one wants
know what is there has to
let’s say towards the towards
inside to the inside of these
tombs to be able to find this
information that is involved in that
place
we have a relationship with the
dead and that relationship for example in
Mexico is very close we dedicate a
day and we are with them we can
put in contact with them as if
we were necromancers this figure that
it serves as a means to be in contact
in fact the dead and the death and the
tombs the monuments have a
very close relationship with time if
we ask ourselves what is the
time scientific philosophers and a lot
people have tried to come up with this
answer with this question and a way
to synthesize let’s say very
general what they have come to is to think
in the most basic logic of time
we have past present and future if
we think for example in the
future is the place where the
intuitions we agree to see on the way
of the imagination and we have among others
things wishes put there that can
pass or that may not happen if we think
we for example in the past there
the memory lives the memory the grave
the monument and all the memories just
in the middle is the present and that present
it seems that it escapes in a fluid way
that constantly escapes when I
I say present for example in the last and
of that word
something important is happening and that is
when I pronounced it, it is past
it means that the present is something
unattainable ungraspable is something that
we can take it directly directly
when I’m saying this just
happen and if we think about that
dimension would be realizing
that we are dying at every moment that
the present maybe does not exist and in that
I felt in an anguish that the
past is a continuous present is what
it’s not what makes us do so
compulsive many exercises
rote, such as taking us
the fis the fis seems the non
just a fad but it’s a memory of
a present that we can not take that
it’s out of our hands but we’re
willing to try to learn it from the
only way that we can now that they arrive
these technologies at our hands to
from the 20th century and that we have
cell phones
with which we can take
photographs of all landscapes dogs
cats clouds loves etc we have a
compulsion to keep everything in memories
extended this passion for memory is
what makes us ask when
we bought a cell phone for example how much
memory has as if the cognitive the
that is inside of us no longer outside
enough we ask how many memories
how many capacities can our
how much can we store in it
it means that we have a relationship
direct of the photographs as
memorial instruments why I think
me that the tombs and the photographs
they have something in common that relates
the exercise of saving information
we take selfish I think so
die thanks
