In his statement, the Colombian artist discusses the connections between the history of his country and violence, themes of the piece he presented at the 18th Festival. According to Arango, his work does not address this cruel past in documentary-like fashion, but fictionally. Thus, the artwork itself is not considered a memory-based creation, but rather a device for creating memories that could be experienced even by those who did not directly experience the facts described.
