"I was living in London at the end of the 1960s when I became aware of the brainwashing power of television... I became interested in making a portrait of England by photographing the TV screen"

   In the tenacity of the media to distribute information following an editorial line, loses objectivity; an ideal to which the human being only aspires from ethics, turning it into a utopia. It would be ridiculous to think that, in the 21st century, there is an information media network whose content is not tinged by those involved, influencing the viewer's perception of the content.

It is an interference in the processing of information.

A variable associated with misinformation.

​

   At the end of 2016 and early 2017, the news that generated the most noise in Mexico was the victory of Donald J. Trump in the elections as the 45th President of the United States of America. Muting other significant events, and bullying the memory of a collective unconscious riddled by the image industry, I I fear for the possible reinforcement that a public power figure, representing white supremacy, may have on racial, classist, and nationalistic prejudices, among others.

​

A wall that separates "them" from "us", built over any possibility of cosmopolitan development.

​

   Editing the content of different media that to my remote presence I receive, I fall into the same error that I question; Inform subjectively, albeit consciously and intentionally. Thus, I decide to associate images of distant events in time and space, on both sides of the U.S. - Mexican border, staging an ethical and moral cognitive dissonance.
