This event was a true media phenomenon. One showed us days after days the images on line as in current tele-realities except that in this case the protagonists were hostages and terrorists. The soundtrack to Bruce Lee film "Enter the Dragon", for creating an Asian environment.

On the base of this real fact I invented a fiction where two secret agents must save the prisoners. I used a nonlinear narrative language in which one loses the logical and temporal direction easily.

This installation consists of a metal sculpture supporting of radiographies of human body, of the old film photographs of kung fu, and the texts of the book " 7 Ensayos de la Realidad Peruana " to Jose Carlos Mariategui, translated into japanese, and one video work can i be described as absurdity thriller.
The low technical level of this first video adventure, imposed at the beginning take part in the particular style of this work.
