Satellite City

The call ‘The city outside the city’, was planned in the 50s in the Edo. from Mexico, with the idea of a suburb in which its inhabitants will not need to leave it more than to work. But the city ate that utopian city that claimed to be far from insecurity and chaos, and it became a place where only the first months of 2017 have been killed 70 women; Femicides have increased more than 30 percent. Many of these cases are not considered as femicides but as murders, however, the difference is large since according to the Criminal Code of the State of Mexico, Feminicide is considered as such if the victim has signs of sexual violence, injuries or mutilations, if there is a history of family, labor or school violence of their aggressor, that there has been a sentimental relationship or threats, among other characteristics. This is a suburb portray, a place where time stretches and articulates between driving roads and sunsets, among evanescent and shattered dreams getting lost from this land. A place where being a young woman means to be an “easy” target. The threatening ambience rules who you are and the way you are; the rest is only an act of resistance. Being youngster in this suburb makes you become a satellite, from what already is, from the one who already has a place. This project pursues the labeling of the gestures, the faces and the ages when young women barely whispering try to find and to build their own existence.
