Montjuic cemetery in Barcelona (photo by Stefan Cermak)
My first conscious experience of liking cemetries comes from climbing Mont Juic in Barcelona and seeing what appeared from a distance as a high-rise city. In reality that high-rise city was a multi story cemetery.
Last week I visited the neighbouring cemetry from where I teach.
It looks something like this:
… and is rather smallish compared to the huge and worldwide known (to cemetry enthousiasts) Schoonselhof cemetry, the artist’s cemetry of Antwerp.
The pictures are of photos mounted on the graves, usually aureoled by oval frames. I like the washed-out spooky ones. One of the joys of photographing is photographing photographs. After Sherrie Levine: After After Edward Weston.
Got me there. I travel through Hoboken everyday on my way to work. See my post, La Vie Quotidienne.
Great photographs. I love cemeteries too. there is a beautiful one by the sea here at Waverley, it’s just up the road from where I live
