Ana Patricia Palacios

The complexities of subjectivity take up the work of Palacios: the existential pressures of twin sisters (her own case) or specific social groups such as boxer girls or soldiers. The traveler, who quickly slides as a very little point among the mountains, is a contemporary Latin American subject this time, half peasant, half urbanite, who knows the city but is a stranger in there. He lives in rural areas where he uses the rudimentary and risky wire between the mountains, tarabita or garrucha (cable car), to transport people and merchandise to the roads leading to the city, because it is there where the subsistence cycle ends. Perhaps that farmer knows the version of the cable that is offered as a tourist attraction or urban entertainment on the terraces of a shopping center.
