2005 | Color | 4 min As a mural unfolds before of our eyes, we hear the sounds of construction work going on far off in the distance. The mural depicts a Mediterranean landscape: a cactus, a cypress, and an olive tree. The camera sweeps over the fresco, then freezes. Heaps of fallen rocks keep getting in the way, though we haven?t really noticed them. We suddenly discover the cause of these fallen rocks: an olive tree has broken through a wall.

Mexico will no longer exist! A frenetic view runs over a convulsed Mexico City, a colossal metropolis sustained by the myth of "mestizaje" and other colonial forms of violence. Past and present weave a flurry of images; fragmented memories of this land. Ancient deities are incarnated, while dreams overlap among intimacy, complicity and the tumult.
