Day of the dead in Bizare Magazine

Over the Halloween peird i was lucky because one of the magazines i read had a halloween special on the mexican day of the dead, here i have scanned in the 6 page spread that was included, It also featured a glamour shoot based on the mexican day of the dead which i will upload in my next blog post. 

The Main Thing that stands out in this article, mainly about the history and the tradtions, is in a paragraph on the last page where it states: 

'Contrary to what most people think when they see the festiva's skulls, bones and altars, the Day of the Dwar isn't morbid- in face, it's as much about life as it is death. For those who are missing loved ones who've passed on, Day of the Dead is an opportunity to spend time with people they'll never see again in the flesh. For others, the festival is a time for reflection and to think about the true meaning of life and figure out what they want to achive in their own time on earth.'

I like the fact that no matter how much we think about death, it is always linked to life, and vise virsa, its the whole idea that my project is focused on, life and death as one as a transitional space.
