What if, with scalpel in hand, we decided to dissect light? The result might resemble what is presented here: moments of time, plays of reflections, silhouettes and shadows, anachronistic leaps of form, fragments of the fleeting, and the infamous tension underlying each flash. In this text, two perspectives and techniques converge, each seeking to complement the other: writing and image. Their intersections are manifold: social hierarchies and the persistent geography of exclusion, colonialism and its various inscriptions, the past and the mechanisms of memory, aesthetics and its complicity with barbarism, mystification, and the creation of new altars, among others. These elements outline a map that is not definitive but rich in meanings of an urban and symbolic place encrypted within the postcard titled 75,000. Across these 30 postcards, where the penetrating murmur of the archive resounds, you will not find a manifesto, an academic essay, or a manual of political correctness. Instead, this collection serves as an allegorical eruption, pointing to those places where light perishes.
