Of Zamorano's insomnia. What is not talked about, but what the night allows to show. Methodological note

  • Laura Lee Roush Perdue

This photographic essay is based on images taken during night walks in Zamora, Michoacán, between 2020 and 2023, years in which Zamora was recognized among the cities with the highest homicide and disappearance rates in the world. It seeks an interpretation of the uses of home altars and cenotaphs in relation to a relative silence in public language. By following the examples of Zamorano (2022), Reyero (2007) and others, many of the images were returned, opening opportunities for conversation about violent events, mourning, fear and stigmatization of families with loss. The substantial portion of the text, distributed among the captions, comes from texts sent anonymously by people who responded to these images.
