A la hora señalada

In a neon light factory, CADA members Juan Castillo and Raúl Zurita perform a remake of the famous duel in the American western film ‘High Noon’ (translated in Latin America as ‘A la hora señalada’). Symbolizing a physical trace of this tense and dangerous situation, the artists extended between them a neon strip illuminating the scene – a duel of light, without weapons. The reference to the film works here as a denunciation of Chilean political violence during Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship, and as an open call to utilize mourning as a productive force in the struggle for civil rights.
