In the Aztec culture, there was a belief that those who died were never truly dead. Instead, they were passing on to the afterlife. Mictlan was the general name for this underworld realm that was ruled in part by the god Mictlantecuhtli. Here, Mictlantecuhtli can be seen as the president of the communication company Comunicación Mictlan. He gives each individual a veliz of their own and welcomes them into Mictlan on the central screen of their “communication station.” The suitcase of the “newly-dead” also contains the form of the cempazuchitl (marigold), a ceremonially wrapped body, a comb representing our daily rituals, a telephone representing the game of communication, as well as a short poem by the Aztec poet Nezahualcoyótl (hungry/fasting coyote).
