"Memento Mori: Testament to Life" is a profound homage to the victims of Colombia's armed conflict, claiming over 250,000 lives in the past fifty years. This bilingual, two-volume book features four bodies of work by Erika Diettes. The first volume presents her photographic art displayed in museums and memorials, includes her statement, an essay by Ileana Diéguez, and a conversation with Anne Wilkes Tucker. The second volume highlights three series: "Sudarios," "Río Abajo," and "Relicarios," showcasing unique techniques and materials. This work enriches documentary art, Latin American studies, and social anthropology, capturing the human cost of terrorism.
