Mexico participates in the artistic exchange offered by the 54th Venice Biennale with the work of Melanie Smith, who presentes three video pieces grouped together under the title "Red Square Impossible Pink", a concept that brings together three of her most recent works: "Aztec Stadium", "Xilitla" and "Bulto".
The first of these is the visual document of an action arried out in the eponymous stadium, in which the artist elaborates a visual reflection on the idea of the faterland and the caos that accompanies revolutions.
The second, "Xilita", is an experimental film shot in 35mm that explores the multiple meanings that a near mythical space in Mexico -a surrealist garden built in the middle of the Huasteca Potosina by the Englishman Edward James- holds today.
Finally, "Bulto" is a piece originally commissioned by the Lima Art Museum, in which a bundle appears in different public spaces, participating in the widest variety of the city's dynamics.
