Marbles. 1968-2000Toys against dictatorship.
The most effective way to control horses and police agents in the universities of the 70's was to spread the halls, corridors and stairs with marbles. In the video an abstract torrent of iridescent glass, thousands of glass marbles invade one of the faculties of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Reactions and interactions are created that ensure a space for freedom of thought. Small toys are able to paralyze and frighten sophisticated control machines.
