23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
The Living in Corpse

A living corpse in time, after disappearing from the world, only an image remains that keeps it alive in the heart of paper. According to Roland Barthes: Images that force us to travel backwards in time, and remind us of someone's presence, of their "being there". This is the meaning of "noema".
