Cartographies of Violence (Colombia, 2010)
In the West man has turned his back on nature, say Juan Calle. But that is different in Colombia. There the struggle for land is the basis for an unceasing cycle of violence between the FARC guerrillas, paramilitaries, multinationals and the government, with defenceless citizens, farmers and minorities caught in the middle. In his compositions Calle transforms the landscape of Colombia into a metaphor for a history of conflict, exploitation and discrimination.
