Site-specific intervention on Arena Coliseo (Lucha Libre)
Two stereo sound systems, caged ring

Site-specific work at Arena Coliseo de Guadalajara (Mexican Wrestling). On the local sound system we hear voices that list a register of conditions and ailments of society in general, taken randomly from different Internet sources, as well as the physical problems of some wrestlers gained through their careers... we all suffer, there’s not a body that won’t suffer the passage of the path. In a quadraphonic system we hear radio recordings of wrestling, interviews with fighters, as well as records made in the same arena. The cage is a metaphor for the "slavery" of the gladiators to their economic means, generally miserable and addictive.
