This project is based on a failed journalistic coverage of a very specific event that was commented on throughout the world as news: the largest caravan of Central American migrants. In October 2018, they left for the United States, walked Mexico and had to settle down for an indefinite period in the city of Tijuana due to the US government’s refusal to grant them asylum.
The photographer Luis Antonio Rojas, with the protagonists, establishes a brief relationship: Luis lends his phone to send voice messages to their relatives.
Putting aside all the symbolic layers that an event like this implies, this book is an ensemble of looks and affections: the author reduces this project to its most complex and most significant point: intimacy and encounters.
