Abstract

Starting from the hypothesis that the analysis of artistic production is an effective strategy to understand the imaginary place that an issue like death can occupy within cities. This article proposes a reflection on some of the works of Colombian artists, such as: Débora Arango, Alejandro Obregón, Beatriz González, Doris Salcedo, Óscar Muñoz, María Evelia Marmolejo, Ana Claudia Múnera and Clemencia Echeverri. Whose visual narratives were created around a specific place and circumstances, in this case Bogotá as a scene of death derived from the problems of sociopolitical violence that occurred during the 20th and 21st centuries. These artistic proposals form a very deep look, with a strong critical nuance, on the possible causes and impact that these events have had on the way the city is perceived.
