"Resti Amortali" is a product of today's society's relationship with death. Life is too busy to stop and observe what is around us. The installation is located in an urban context in two squares. QR codes have been posted in several places. When the codes are scanned, images depicting animal remains open. There are 19 scangraphs.
The site used to create QR codes allows tracking of code scans. These were left posted for three days, equal to the days of the funeral wake. On average the codes were scanned four times. The individualism of today's society is quite evident, a multitude of people are always circulating in the squares, despite this, the codes have had little scanning. Life has a high pace, we often don't notice what's around us or we're not allowed to stop.
A digital cemetery has been created in the squares. In an era in which the topic of death is tabooed and avoided, QR codes devoid of any contextualization implement "violence" towards the individual in the act of scanning, forcing him to relate to death and his mortality. People do not expect to find death in that place because it is now confined to hospitals or linked to extraordinary events.
After an initial state of shock, the images trigger curiosity in the individual who tries to understand what exactly is depicted there. In this way he relates to death and his mortality.
