Reed, cardboard, newspaper and paste were used to create ephemeral sculptural replicas of recently crashed planes and helicopters from the Mexican government and military, using press photographs of the accidents as reference. The full-scale replicas were built according to the traditions of the Burning of Judas and the “Toritos”. The materials used emphasize not only the fragility of the represented structures, but also the fragility of the political system they stand for. The staging took place in sites that resemble the sites where each accident took place. These photographs question the metaphoric manipulation of reality by mass media.
