Abajo y a la izquierda (En bas et à gauche)

Installation with 16 mm film projection, sound, edition, 2024

Below and to the left is a position regarding the world mapping from where we are standing now. Both a concrete area of the territory, and an imaginary space. Below and to the left is a way of approaching politics. Both from a grassroots socioeconomic place, and from a leftist political ideology. Below and to the left is where our heart is. Both in the physiognomy of the land, and in our desires for the future. The map has been turned upside down, and reorientation is needed both to find the below and to the left, and to be able to defend it.
