Apollo-Soyuz-Chapultepec Project
Encuentros espaciales, acuerdos terrenales y olvidos universales
The installation reproduces the Apollo (USA) and Soyuz (USSR) spaceships as informal constructions of the favelas. The coupling of these ships in space in 1975 was a gesture of peace in the middle of the Cold War. The artist relates the historical fact with the signing of the peace accords in Chapultepec in 1992, which put an end to the civil war in El Salvador, but did not mean either the end of the Cold War or the end of the violence in his country.
