Vertebración social y concienciación política a través de estrategias artísticas. El Plantón del Distrito Federal (2006).

This research come up during my stay in Mexico DF after the elections of 2006, where I had the opportunity to realize that the people on the fringe of Mass Media developed a new citizen conscience through the art. The forty-seven days of the “Plantón” (an urban camping of nine kilometers from Zócalo to Reforma) was an ‘aleph’ of representations of a society dismembered by the neoliberalism and the political simulacra. There was, in “El Plantón”, in the preceding manifestations and the later National Democratic Convention, an emerging movement of creative and social activities and I took more than 4.500 photos and videodocuments of it.
