Time has corroded the canvas covering this mummified body. It seems that, during the time of the cloister, the body has undergone movements and adjustments. On the lower extremities, the bandage has been worn away due to possible rubbing.

The mummified image presents us with a pose of rest. Resting in eternity interrupted by diggers, grave robbers and stripped naked by the paleontologist after having been groped by an archaeologist.

Their privacy will be revealed, carbon 14 will tell us their approximate age, we will know their sex and certainly their race… So, are we travelling back in time without realizing it? We discern all these facts from the past with present technologies.

That body, perpetuated in time, will pass into the future, leaving a trace of the past for future generations. That mummified pose will travel in time beyond our time. We will die, from dust to dust…
