Broken Eyes is born from the shock of the tragic events that have taken place in Chile and Colombia from 2019. A social and political crisis that has left more than 500 people with eye injuries due to pellets shot by the police during the protests. The police aim directly for the heads. It is not only in Chile or Colombia but also in Palestine, France, Hong Kong, Brazil, Lebanon, Kashmir.
Built from various sources (archive images, testimonies of victims of mutilation, performance, slogans chanted in popular demonstrations, military and scientific texts), BROKEN EYES wonders about right before that moment of mutilation and what remains after the tragedy. It wonders about violence, about the action of tear out the eyes, the absence of the gaze, invisibility, blindness. But also intends to keep memories, collecting the remains, the traces, the images of those gazes on the brink of disappearance.
