Las Muertas: Deadly Beauties by Tim Tudder
Categories: Photo project
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/las-muertas-deadly-beauties-by-tim-tudder.htmlCalifornian photographer Tim Tadder resurrected the ruler of the underworld, Mictlanciuatl, who was worshiped by the Aztecs in ancient times. He created a series of original photographs of Las Muertas dedicated to this goddess of the underworld. Tudder was inspired to create an unusual photo cycle by the Mexicans, who annually organize the Day of the Dead festival, or Dia De Los Muertos. At this event, women traditionally wear skull masks to commemorate the roots of the festival, dating back to the time of the Aztecs, who revered Mictlancihuatl.
