Skinned

The Heights
‘The heights’ starts from the grim reality of the anomalous trade on the borders of Ceuta and Melilla that break apart Africa from Europe.
Its foundation comes from the repetitive pilgrimage that hundreds of female porters carry out every day from one side of the border to the other. This piece speculates about the transcendence of the burden, the impossibility of achieving a better life, slavery and resignation.
The Islamic beliefs depicts Al Araf - ‘The heights’- as a massive and impassable wall that divides paradise and hell. The universe represented in ‘The heights’ uses this concept of Al Araf as a metaphor for the border area and proposes an otherworldly space rich in anthropomorphic elements, mainly eyes and hands, to guide these dehumanized silhouettes in their errant Journey.
