Mexico

'Mexico' presents two iconic pieces from different times and contexts. On the one hand, the ancestral stone grinder, known as 'metate' in the Nahuatl language and used as a musical instrument, which evokes lost memories, and on the other, a symbolic bottle of 'Soldado de Chocolate', a local soft drink in Mérida, Yucatán that recently disappeared following an unsuccessful strike by the workers of the Sidra Pino Company. Both elements are brought from their remoteness and connected by their own representations of memory, recalling the background of what dominated local consumption during the twentieth century.
