ENSAIOS PRÉ-SELECIONADOS PEF/2016

LUIS AGUILAR

El silencio esta habitado Ciudad Juarez is covered with silence. Thousands of kilometers of sand filled and closed eyes: a vast collection of anecdotes of human stories trapped between drug trafficking and misogynist that has caused thousands of killings

and become invisible behind the veil of fear. The prosperity of a few wealthy rises above the wails and absences will not be named. That silence of Juarez is larger than its desert leaving young people in the midst of an uncertain future in these wastelands, documenting the consequences of irrational violence forced me to turn their gaze to those young people who daily survive discouraging this scenario. Witnesses away from the heat and tinsel, are survivors of an industrial city that never shuts up, between productive and permanent strident cry of promises of wealth and opportunity. People who keep their silence, treasure, waiting for the day to return to have a voice and speech. They are images that do not break the silence, perhaps even prolong it, but reveal inhabited, he is portrayed standing, facing the ominous future.
