Mrs. Death

Death causes us so much fear and confusion that we can hardly look it in the face. In our aseptic societies, pain and suffering tend to be covered up. Although it was not always like that. In fact, until the late 20th century it was customary to photograph the dead in places all around the world, from the United States and Europe to Latin America. Something that today is rather unknown, had its reason for being. The representation of the deceased was a way to mitigate the sorrow for the death of a loved one. The documentary, ‘Mrs. Death‘, try to give answers. Why has this practice fallen into disuse, and, what’s more, is now considered as something macabre and insensitive?
