Death and the Maiden (photo collection)

I have dealt with this theme concerning paintings or engravings of medieval/renaissance and classic period a lot. Now lets see some photos with the same theme, in a more modern interpretation where eroticism and death coexist sometimes in a necrophilic mood. They have not only an erotic but also a derisive mood towards Death, in direct contrast with the classic and medieval memento mori that had a warning and instructive mood from the religious point of view. It could be said that these photos reverse completely the old fearful meaning of “memento mori” to a joyful interpretation that of the other famous latin quote “carpe diem”: Remember, life is sort, death as nonexistence awaits us all, so let’s seize the every moment of our life.

(Unfortunatelly I don't know the creators of the photos).
