Sin título, de la serie Ratones Patagónicos [Untitled, from the series Patagonic mice]

In the concrete dream of BEING and HAVING at large scales, in Patagonia there was and still is a killing hunger for territorial power. This greed manifests in the property titles bought for a vile price by less than one hundred people and/or corporations. The latent voracity in the celebration of this complete apology of possessing, a fragment of the great Patagonian dream-immensity, has caused, from the Spanish conquest to the consolidation of the nation states of Chile and Argentina, thousands and thousands of murders in order to close the issue “legally”. And the work done was perfect. That is why today nobody even thinks about the abject path of this conquest, or the unscrupulous men and women that implemented this plan of total appropriation, of a dream that should be a humanitarian good and not the consolidation of capitalist selfishness.
