In the Air (2003): Rethinking the Atmosphere of Death

Check out Frieze magazine's archive of Mexican artist Teresa Margolles' show In the Air (2003 Frankfurt, Germany) in which disinfected water from the Mexico City morgue -- water used to rinse the bodies of those who died a violent death -- falls from the ceiling in glittering spheres. Learn more about the evanescent momento mori from Amanda Coulson.
