Pylon Detail

31 | Joe Cuevas | Traces: Cemetery for the Unclaimed

Chapel Rendering

Each pylon is unique because it will be the same height and have the face of each individual person that died. On the back of the pylon there will be the name, cause of death and date of death, only if this information is known. These pylons will be placed in a field made out of clay. The clay surface will leave traces and interactions of people in the cemetery overtime. The pylons will work as cisterns to store water and slowly release it into the ground to keep it from cracking or creating dust. The pylons over time will break and the terracotta will contribute to the clay surface, while others can be reused to make new pylons.
