Abstract

This article is about photography and the days of the dead in a town in the Sierra Norte de Puebla in Mexico. An ethnographic description of the place is presented to understand the sociocultural context of the altars and the analysis of two sequences photographs about the Day of the Dead festival is mentioned by means of a four-dimensional semiotic model to describe and interpret that celebration.
