The works presented at the Mexican Pavilion are a subtle chronicle of the violence provoked by the battles of drug traffic organizations and their prosecution in Mexico at the present. It is a material based reflection on the vicious circle of prohibition, addiction, accumulation, poverty, hatred and repression that transmogrifies the transgresive pleasures and puritan obsessions of the North into the South as Hell.
