A curation by Juliana Angulo, Art Historian, Curator, and Advisor at FAREX & Singulart - Celebrated annually on November 1st and 2nd, El Día de los Muertos is a millennial Mexican tradition that commemorates life, memory, and those who have passed. Its nature is not melancholic but rather festive. Altars are adorned with flowers, calaveras, and photographs, evoking that death is not the end, but a continuation of life. In light of this occasion, this collection reflects on our existence and the meaning of humanity. It navigates the notion of vanity, revealing that youth, aesthetics, and desire, are all temporary. Vanitas has long been represented in art by elements such as skulls, mirrors, and dimmed flowers. These symbols reappear in this series as a reflection of our own fragility. Here, the photographs, sculptures, collages, and symbolic paintings, explore the human condition and society’s fascination with appearances. The works are not only powerful through the emotions they convey, but also by the depth of their visual language. Across a variety of mediums and creative styles, this collection invites us to ask ourselves what is truly essential: Does beauty come from within? What role does self-expression play in our lives? Ultimately, it proposes a shift in perspective reminding us of our fleeting essence and the importance of presence and connection.
