Tomas Casademunt (Barcelona,1967) is a photographer who forges himself for two decades as a graphic reporter. In permanent search has made remarkable photographic series, within which Death at the altar occupies a privileged place. The album records those family altars from the Day of the Dead that are not yet contaminated by the tourist phenomenon of the festival. In these photographs, the presence of death is not as obvious as a sugar skull, Casademunt captures intimate atmospheres where one appreciates the aesthetic enjoyment of the family and perceives mourning and even the "presence" of the anima; Records the family altars that were built to be seen only by the family and the spirit of the dead, only for the joy of making them. Plasma your images in frontal frames: it does not pursue the spectacular framing, it does not interest to be protagonist. As an ethnologist, leave a photographic testimony without adding anything. After seven years of research in populations of the states of Morelos, Michoacan, Oaxaca, Yucatan, Tlaxcala, Puebla and Guerrero, the result is a photographic set of great beauty. 37 photographs
