The Cortona on the Move photo festival presents this year an exhibition titled Body of Evidence that deals with the transformation of the human body. In the section This is the end in the Fortezza Girifalco Regula Tschumi shows a selection of photographs from her series Figurative coffins and funerals of Ghana, 2004 – 2024.

The exhibition was curated by Irene Opezzo and Paolo Woods. About This is the End, we read on the Website COTM:

“Since the essence of photography is that it records what “has been”, it is indissolubly linked with death. It is therefore not surprising that since the invention of the medium, death has been one of its recurring themes. Yet in Western societies where photography first developed, the dead body has been gradually rendered invisible, almost a visual taboo. In This is the End we explore how death has been portrayed by all kinds of photography for the purpose of documentation or celebration, through works that are historical, vernacular, anthropological or artistic. Death has never been more alive than at the Body of Evidence edition of COTM 2024”.

The exhibition takes place in Cortona in Italy.
From 11.7. until 3.11.2024
