Dallas

The project encompasses personal narratives in a comparative context of
developed urban areas versus a marginalized neighborhood. The project aims to bring to the forefront a general awareness of the existence of an isolated, unregistered, and marginalized community, by the authorities. It is represented in a post-documentary, installative manner, communicating a personal vision based on proximity and the crafting of juvenile mythologies. Diametrically opposed to the interests of capitalist investors, this ironically, so-called "Dallas" neighborhood does not present "opportunities," so urbanization and maintenance of an uninhabited clandestine land are not only undesirable but also fenced off by a wall that separates social strata in a utilitarian manner. The gallery reconstruction of the two zones at the extremes of the urban development spectrum represents a personal objective of the artist, with the population in the throes of school dropout, facing critical financial situations, living in poor hygiene conditions, juxtaposed with an area a few dozen meters away that receives the attention of authorities and is a center of commercial interest, marking a differentiation that can be extrapolated both nationally and globally. The installations and photographic works aim to immerse the audience in the atmosphere of urban dystopia.
