Located a quick walking distance from Chic By Accident,his other store in the Roma Norte, Dead by Accident's focus is on the story and symbolism of death.<br /><br />All works are created by Mexican artisans and designers: works ranging from wood-blocks prints, to papier-mâché skulls, and the most exquisite ceramic tiles in opaque whites and earthly blacks. The main table centering the interior is covered in leather and adhered by glue and nails, while the tattered edges hang freely. The same leather-work carries onto the floor. The afternoon we were in the store with Emmanuel, an earthquake hit. The room slowly shaking, the skulls beginning to vibrate, as we were sipping mezcal.<br /><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Slowly the earth settled back into its form.</span> </span></span>- David John<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">(all photography by David John)</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5463/6950453174_9a046bebfa_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5463/6950453174_9a046bebfa_b.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 687px; height: 1024px;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7251/7096524931_f051dae839_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7251/7096524931_f051dae839_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 700px; height: 467px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">top image, leather table surface by Emmanuel Picault</span><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7048/7096525489_2996a3c404_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7048/7096525489_2996a3c404_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 699px; height: 783px;" /></a></div><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">leather continues to the floor, and on the base of the tables.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"></div><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7210/7096525259_18eb1cca87_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7210/7096525259_18eb1cca87_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 700px; height: 467px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5117/6950453756_86c0af162e_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5117/6950453756_86c0af162e_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 699px; height: 1067px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">(all photography by David John)</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">--------------------</span>
