Scope and content

To 100 meters it is a video-art on that he reflects about the relative thing that can become the time and the space. And about the vital sacrifice that supposes concentrating all our energies in obtaining a target, without the certainty to know that in the end, for much that we strain in him, we end up by achieving it. This way for example, an athlete of 100 smooth meters can be for several months preparing itself for a career of high competition, how there is the case of a few Olympian Games. Finally to concentrate all his efforts in less than 10 seconds, in only a few meters, distance that it separates from the victory. All the realized work, all the effort can fall down in broken sack if in the end it does not obtain his targets. From this premise, I use a career of 100 meters, directly captured of the TV as metaphor of the effort that hundreds of persons realize every day to come to Europe from Africa. They are late several months in covering deserts, in a few subhuman conditions and with a few disproportionate costs. Finally to overturn all this effort in saving a few last km that they separate from his goal.
