There is an ontological position on death in photography that is defined by its character of freezing time and mummifying index. In this paper, the issue of death appears, but suggests we think about it in a broader dialogue, in consonance with urban life, in which the photographic detail highlights expressiveness in the animal death banality on the streets. Through three photographs, we ask: how is certain aesthetic point of view expressed in the face of the urban wastes frivolity? The dead animal body here appears in an amalgam of flesh and stone of which we highlight the survival of form, matter and skin. They are three manifestations of what insists on image despite the death.
