Project Info

Manila North Cemetery

Pass it, pass it! Watch the rebound…basket!!!

Friendly game.

Among graves.

Manila North Cemetery.

A mixed community of a few thousands men, women and kids.

They squat the graves.

The crypts.

Anywhere.

The area is extended.

A city for the living and the dead.

They all live together.

Some signs of safety problems. People fleeing from Duterte’s hard repression seem to hide in here.

Normal lifes.

Kids playing.

Men working.

Women cooking.

Outside, above and below, left and right: graves.

Madonnas looking at you.

Crosses.

Saints.

Even a swiming pool.

Inflatable.

Where kids from a family play among two big tombstones.

The adsurd side of life.

Life beyond the absurd.

Life and death finally meet.

To play a basketball game.
