The bodies of dead animals, shown undisturbed on the premises where they were found (from October 2014, slight displacements or additions are allowed). These lifeless remains allow a normally inaccessible proximity, from which the deathly attitudes and expressions can be caught; to these get superposed the reminders of our own mortality, given rise to by these encounters. The title refers to the use of animal carcasses or body parts as amulets, notably according to voodoo rites.
