ORIGINAL TITLE: EPIFANÍA DIALÉCTICA

I considered that simplicity is useful to give a breath of fresh air to the anthropological and social themes, starting from the poetic dimension. Therefore, the installation is a small metaphor that gathers elements of violence with their spatial relations (their ultimate objectives of displacement, running from the A to the B direction) and it mixes in a whole element, hermetic, but sensitive and active. Taking multiple dimensions, attached to the individual (migration, RAM culture, induction, disillusion and hope values contrapositives) in one single object. The gun shells are at the same time, an ephemeral constellation.

Considero que la sencillez es útil para dar un respiro a los temas antropológicos y sociales, a partir de la dimensión poética. Por lo tanto, la instalación es una pequeña metáfora que reúne elementos de violencia con sus relaciones espaciales (sus objetivos últimos de desplazamiento, que van de la dirección A a la B) y los mezcla en un todo, hermético, pero sensible y activo. Tomando múltiples dimensiones, apegadas al individuo (migración, cultura RAM, inducción, desilusión y valores contrapuestos de la esperanza) en un solo objeto. Estos restos luminosos son, al mismo tiempo, una constelación efímera.
