We are in a Mexican city during a festival, but at the same time in the depths of the consciousness of a man who is descending further into the underworld. His voice describes how his eyes become painfully sensitive to the darkness, how he falls endlessly, how his body becomes longer than his mind can grasp. While he talks, people up in the streets are gathering to celebrate their rituals. The video is a hypnotic mix of images, sounds and text, based on “Los Siete Locos”, a political novel by Roberto Arlt set in early twentiethcentury Argentina.
