No todo brilla (Not everything shines)

The desperation produced by the impatience of waiting for something to happen, to pass. For the traffic jam to pass, for the taxi to pass, for the rain to pass, for the insecurity to pass, for the hostility to pass. Sometimes there are distractions: a dog, one graffiti, a familiar song, or someone falling. The thought changes and comes back to oneself: what if it is me who falls? Anxiety and uneasiness return. The traffic jam continues, the taxi doesn’t pass, it’s still raining, it’s still unsafe, and it’s still hostile.

Everyday life celebrations and reminders about the good and/or difficult moments of life. Inflatable golden balloons installed in the public space in various locations in Bogotá, Colombia, acted as unexpected signs to slow down and reflect on our humane concerns, situations, thoughts and feelings.
