It is in urban and rural spaces where ordinary and consequential events are interwoven to configure the social conventions and cultural expressions that are shaping public space and delimit collective imaginaries. The invasion of visual surroundings with street graffiti, political propaganda, and commercials is brought together with the manipulation of soundscapes that obliterate memory through a constant superposition of references.
The growing connection between locations and routes throughout the country, and organized crime disputes—dating from the beginning of the war against drug trafficking in 2006—has deranged the perception of our transit and co-habiting spaces. The excessive accumulation of disappearances and murders has generated a collective stupor in which one runs the risk of giving in to impotence, as well as allowing overgrowing outrage and horror to turn into oblivion.
