Description: The cemetery of La Piedad and the French and Municipal cemeteries in Puebla make an outstanding example of funerary architecture in Mexico. The interest of Lourdes Perez de Ovando in these sites led her to start a photo project that emphasizes the aesthetic aspect of architecture and sculpture to promote their cultural significance. The book consists of 110 images that try to give a new perspective to focus on the artistic side of the city cemeteries. The photographs were exhibited in New York in 2012 under the same title.
