Urban Rituals, 1987, ongoing

Series of photographs

Urban Rituals consist of a series of photographs throughout the years and in various countries of dead birds that Alves has encountered in the city or in the countryside. As an urban dweller with no communal rituals that would mark the death of these beings, Alves decided to create her own possibilities of remembering and honoring them.
