Work in progress focused on femicide violence in the Estado de México and is based on three axes: documentary photography, intervention in the territory (silhouette of a woman made of a mirror) and digital mapping of cases of femicide (google maps).
According to the National Citizen Observatory of Femicide, every day in Mexico eleven women die because of extreme violence, being the Estado of México one of the states with the highest number of cases, concentrated mainly in Ecatepec, Chimalhuacán and Nezahualcóyotl; the latter is the municipality where I live.
La muerte sale por el Oriente is a self-managed work that addresses feminicidal violence in the State of Mexico, and is based on three axes: 1) documentary photography of feminist demonstrations and actions, 2) intervention in the territory from the placement of a silhouette of a woman made of a mirror, in public spaces in the municipalities of Chimalhuacán, Neza and Valle de Chalco and 3) digital mapping of cases of femicide (via google maps).
