Colosal Nº8

Overview

The roundabout featuring the Olmec head in Vallecas contains an exact replica of one of the colossal heads sculpted by the pre-Columbian Olmec culture. The sculpture was donated to the city of Madrid by the Mexican state of Veracruz and is completely decontextualized. Taking this nondescript, transit location as its starting point, the film Colosal #8 is conceived as a kind of colossal film that speculates on the transfer of archaeological artifacts and the historical relations between Mexico and Spain.
