Special Thank You to Mercy Fuentes, who did the performance at the Horror vacui event. It was important for me that this piece was done in Guatemala by a person affected in some way by the conflict.
Also, Thank You to Rosina Cazali who helped me coordinate the performance. And to Andrea Aragón, my official photographer in Guatemala.
