A MORIR (TILL DEATH), 2003
Three-Channel DVD Projection

Rìos’ video installation focuses on a popular game in Mexico that involves spinning tops. Through the documentation of this simple scenario, from one to thirty players, aged from 14 to 50, dymnamics of competition, aggression and territorialism are signaled both visually and aurally. A MORIR negotiates both politics and poetics in abstracting narratives about urban sprawl and congestion.
