Sound Mix-media Installation

Through a synthesis of memories and historical connections this installation is made out 8 plastic bags containing in the inside sound of the interviews of both my parents who are telling their stories about the days before and after the coup of 1973 in Chile. The bags are contrasted with the cutout of a female figure that is permanently fix carrying the load of the bags that have been transformed into packages of memories.
