This project can be understood as the beginning of a work in progress, although it could also be considered as the starting point of a large archive of works, experiences and texts related to each other, alluding to the complexity of migrations, as well as to my own archive, that of my distant country, my present country, my readings of broken language, the memory that links, the memory that separates, my wounded language.

My border is the suspended space that cannot be replaced by any forced movement. The acceleration of the world doesn't affect migrant bodies; it overwhelms them.

Bodies in traffic through this stopped time, where the mere sight becomes bare life
 
Transmission
