Sustrato índice 

Este trabajo expone diferentes tipologías de viaje por su momento histórico su forma legal y su lugar en lo económico. La doble pantalla alterna distintas experiencias entorno a la movilidad, señalando de que forma la frontera se hace permeable o no. La luz describe a las personas seleccionadas sacándolos del fondo negro, dibuja su rostro pero no los introduce en otro contexto que el de su viaje. Datos como: el lugar de partida, el coste, el tiempo, los motivos y el medio usado para llegar, señalan el drama que supone pertenecer a un estado nación minus-soberano, en contraste con el viaje como objeto de consumo.

 

Index substrate

This work exposes different typologies of travel in terms of their historical moment, their legal form and their place in the economy. The double screen alternates different experiences of mobility, showing how the border becomes permeable or not. The light describes the selected people by drawing them out of the black background, it draws their faces but does not introduce them into any other context than that of their journey. Data such as: the place of departure, the cost, the time, the motives and the means used to arrive, point to the drama of belonging to a mini-sovereign nation state, in contrast to the journey as an object of consumption.
