In an exercise of compensation, I invert the condition of the representations of prominent figures of class society. Between the social pages and the elitist advertising, I incrust them in the context of the settlers, the called ?D sector?. By means of digital abrupt manipulation turning to a stereotype, an exchange in a coarse way the roles of the social actors, I execute a pleasant revenge in photomontage key. For the speech, I used an early ?opened work?, as Umberto Eco concept, the prologue of a Peruvian basic book: Seven Essays Interpretation of the Peruvian Reality, by Jose Carlos Mariátegui, whose reflection about a racist society is still remaining up to the present. Declared in Quechua and without subtitles the voice force the spectator to enjoy a despised and unloved language.
