The hanging coffins of Sagada, Philippines
In the Pacific archipelago, ethnic minorities hung the coffin of their ancestors on the hillsides. In the village of Sagada, which can be visited, the graves are literally hanging. This tradition would prevent the deceased from being devoured by wild animals. We find this kind of strange spectacle in southern China and Indonesia.

Tana Toraja, Indonesia
In Indonesia, the Torajas understand death completely differently. The deceased remain an integral part of a family. We light the bodies at nightfall, we talk to them, we touch them ... Bodies can be stored for several weeks up to several years, thanks to formalin mummification. Later, the ancestors are exhumed again to benefit from a new homage. We then change their outfit and try to feed them ...

Port Arthur Prison in Tasmania, Australia
At first glance, Port Arthur prison seems to be a place of confinement like any other. And yet, it refers to the history of the Australians, when the British crown sent its condemned to live hell in the Antipodes. A room was dedicated to dissection. The prisoners were locked there in total darkness and were flogged there. 2000 victims would have been counted there. In 1996, the nightmare returned when a man entered the prison and killed 35 people.
