Video installation

Colombia, 2019

Approximately an hour from Ocaña, north of Santander, near a sidewalk of Las Liscas, lies a mass grave in which were found some of the bodies of the children of the Mothers of False Positives of Soacha and Bogotá.

This work invites us to ask ourselves questions around the unspoken and the unseen. It seeks to be a point of connection with a faraway place and the gaze of many. The installation questions us as complicit witnesses of violence and opens possibilities of entering into dialogue with the materiality of the work.
