This work previously categorised as music video is an interpretation of Esteban Azuela and Yurex Omazkin honouring the music of the mexican trash punk band Los Viejos. Meticulously edited at 60fps, full of hidden and distorted messages that you can read frame by frame almost like a book. A mockery of the alienation to the images which we live.
