Ausencia del Héroe /Absence of the Hero

Absence of the hero is a depiction of the hostility we live with our daily lives and how it transforms our identity.

Absence of the hero is about the uncertainty of the human condition, the emotional ties to others or to the place we live in. A depiction of the hostility we live with our daily lives and how it transforms our identity. Living in fear is not the same as living.

Bombs and rifles vanished men, which is an immediate death, while survivors were left in fear, which is a slow death. Fear became familiar. It cracked into the daily routine and transformed the way we inhabit the space and relate to one another, it lies beneath everyday hostility, beneath the struggle between men and the battle within ourselves.

In the midst of darkness, we wonder about what brings us together, where does our identity relies? May be that which separates us is the absence of a certain future, the violence, the absence of the hero. It might be that what brings us together is made of the same fugitive and hazy matter of what tears us apart.
