EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, taken by Ivan Alvarado, we are transported to the eerie yet intriguing world of Santiago's Ghost Tour heritage circuit. The image captures a man engrossed in a movie screening within the confines of a cemetery. As he sits on an old wooden bench, his silhouette is cast against the backdrop of tombstones and crosses, creating a hauntingly beautiful scene. The creative use of the cemetery as an unconventional cinema adds an air of mystery and fascination to this snapshot. The fence surrounding the graveyard serves as both a physical barrier and symbolic representation, separating the living from those who have passed away. The unrecognizable figure sitting alone under a tree demonstrates how people can find solace even in unconventional environments. Despite being surrounded by graves and architecture that typically evoke somber emotions, this man appears at ease as he immerses himself in cinematic storytelling. The play between light and shadow further enhances the atmosphere of this photograph. The cross-shaped screen illuminates his face while casting shadows on nearby tombstones, emphasizing both life and death existing side by side. Alvarado's composition invites viewers to contemplate our relationship with mortality while appreciating unexpected beauty found within cemeteries. This thought-provoking image reminds us that even in places associated with loss and grief, there can be moments of connection and joy.
