A collaborative show with artist Luis Fernando Roldán. The project used a game of chance to decide, chaotically but according to certain rules or guidelines, where to plant a tree for each victim of violence in Bogotá in 1997. There were 7,800 victims that year, and 7,800 trees to be planted in Bogotá, according to …

It compiles many stories from people who have experienced the violence of drug trafficking and have now become invisible in the city, like ghosts.

In Latin, mutatio means change, transformation, mutation, and it refers to the transition from chaos to seed to life, the nearly biological mutation that begins with chaos or chance to open up …
In this series, Ana González evokes the stories told by a nine-year-old girl, the daughter of a family displaced by violence in Juradó, Colombia.
