Chincha
Chincha is a video installation composed of a blue tarp suspended over a fragile steel structure anchored to a concrete base. It takes inspiration from unfinished buildings across Latin America, where exposed steel rods represent interrupted aspirations and systemic inequalities. Projected onto this structure is a video of Chincha, a city devastated by an earthquake. Five years later, the footage shows a city still in ruins, with residents adapting to life amidst the destruction. This contrast of resilience and resignation mirrors the physicality of the installation, reflecting on human endurance and the structural neglect that perpetuates inequality.
