"Remember you will die. Memento Mori arises from a personal need, which extends to, possibly, every conscious living being aware of the inevitable fact of dying: to understand and accept our own death and that of those around us. The narrative delves into our relationship with death, from which we can scarcely gather more information than what we receive from our limited position as spectators, where we wait in the antechamber. What if there were those who have crossed the threshold and left a record of it?
This work takes the form of a notebook filled with surrealistic illustrations and annotations by an anonymous author, filled with clues about a mysterious knowledge they have encountered through unknown means. Hidden symbols, twisted and encrypted annotations challenge reason and conceal the key to provoke reflections in the reader that would otherwise never occur."
"Una noche tuve miedo ante la certeza de la muerte y lo azaroso del no-después.
Desde entonces toda las noches se conectan entre sí. Antes de dormir, como una constelación."
"One night I was afraid in the face of the certainty of death and the randomness of the non-afterlife.
Since then, every night connects with each other. Before sleeping, like a constellation."
