Projeto Pacífico. 2010
Video, 12'35", map, collages, 500 x 85 cm each
A massive earthquake in the Andes separates Chile from South America; Bolivia and Argentina now have Pacific coasts. On this redesigned continent, past and present are compressed. The earthquake serves as a metaphor for political, natural, and human instability.
