Overview
Cemeteries are natural open-air theaters with their own codes, aesthetics, vegetation, visitors, and organization, which deeply reflect the culture and beliefs of the people who live around them. This constant juxtaposition of death and life is what gives them their dynamism, their strangeness, but also their photogenic power. Behind their walls, we can discover stages of life, unique destinies, and intimate stories that we try to capture in the rhythm of the seasons. In "The Eternal Garden: Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris," we also encounter the most famous graves of Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, and Jim Morrison.
