El portafolio de arte y poesía: El Arte de Morir y la pequeña muerte es producto de una instalación de arte presentada en San Juan, Puerto Rico en el 1991, en la cual los poemas de Nemir Matos-Cintrón, colocados sobre una mesa de dibujo, compartían el espacio con las imagenes manipuladas via fotocopia por Yolanda Fundora. Yolanda invitó a Nemir a participar en la Instalación El Arte de Morir, en la cual declaraba la muerte del arte como un producto final, anclada en la visión del arte como proceso artístico. El titulo de instalación, El Arte de Morir, resonó en la poeta ya que le permitió honrar a sus amigos afectados por el SIDA, quienes convirtieron el proceso de morir en un arte de despedidas paulatinas. De ahí surgieron los poemas que hoy componen el espacio poético igualmente titulado: El Arte de Morir. Este portafolio incluye tanto el arte y los poemas de la instalación como nuevo arte digital y poemas recientes, producto de la reevaluación del trabajo original. Se incluyen además las contribuciones espontáneas de la poeta Ana Irma Lassén y el pintor Joaquín Reyes quienes visitaron la instalación.
