A thousand ways of dying in an Art Museum<\/span><\/h2>\n

Congratulations! If you\u2019re reading this text (and you\u2019re not an artificial intelligence) it means you\u2019re still breathing. So far\u2026 because living means inhabiting the brief time between birth and death.<\/span>
\nArt is inseparable from human expression. It reveals to us the innumerable discourses and reflections of the soul regarding its limits. This online exhibition is, therefore, limited to showing a few cases from the infinite variety of ways of portraying death, through works of a very different nature, most of which can be visited publicly in the 22 institutions that make up the Art Museums Network of Catalonia.<\/span><\/h4>\n

The people depicted in these works are no longer breathing. Neither are the artists who created them. But they still talk to us. And they ask us a question that goes beyond our concern for finiteness: Am I?<\/span><\/h4>\n

Afraid to Die<\/h2>\n

The fear of dying keeps us alive. Numerous elements remind us of our finiteness, the most characteristic of which is the skull. Skulls have no face and materialise the loss of identity<\/h4>\n
