VIDA EN EL CEMENTERIO
En mitad de la bulliciosa ciudad filipina de Manila, donde residen casi 11 millones de personas, se encuentra el Cementerio del Norte.
Fundado en 1904, is el lugar de descanso de distintos presidentes y celebridades filipinas ademas de cientos de miles de catolicos. Sin embargo, desde 1960 otros lo habitan tambien. En este ambiente surrealista, un grupo de personas ha formado su propio sociedad entre tumbas. Una comunidad de aproximadamente 3000 personas que trabaja y vive entre los muros del cementerio del Norte.
El fotografo britanico James Chance nos muestra esta inusual manera de vivir.
LIFE IN THE CEMENTERY
LIFE IN THE CEMENTERY
In the middle of the bustling Philippine city of Manila, home to almost 11 million people, lies the North Cemetery. Founded in 1904, it is the final resting place for several Filipino Presidents, celebrities, and hundreds of thousands of the city’s Catholic dead. However, since the 1960’s a new, living population has grown. In this surreal environment, people have formed a functioning society that is literally built on tombs. A community of approximately 3,000 people currently live and work within in the North Cemetery’s walls. British-born photographer James Chance shows how people live together in this unusual place.
