Dato sensible

Spaces of terror, produced by massacre or disappearance, do not belong to far away galaxies, or to some kind of no one’s land, but are inserted in our everyday geographies. We coexist with them, often without seeing or perceiving. They have a voice and things to tell, so let’s start listening. Dato sensible (Sensitive data) takes you to recognize and interrogate these landscapes within the Mexican geography, to submerge in their textures, their patterns, the voices that inhabit them. And there is another code that speaks to us, disturbingly.
