El monstruo esqueleto

Main Article Content

Erika Mergruen
We have created trivialized monsters, but also monsters that ask for our veneration. The monstrosity in worship expresses the need of our kind to search, again and again, for the answer to our primal fears. When known symbols lose their power, we find the miracle in others, and sanctify that which brings us faith. Not surprisingly, the Santa Muerte appears, whose cult has spread in recent years, despite threats by the Church and the government in Mexico.
