Human Resources / Los Angeles/ 2021

During off-road races such as the Baja 1000, trophy trucks and other vehicles born from military technology, cross an idealized Mexican landscape at a breathtaking speed, cutting across natural reserves and degrading the land. For more than 50 years the peninsula of Baja California has become a racing track for the US, an adventure of conquest, what they call a battle between Man and Nature. Ultimately, the work speaks of the anthropocentric desire for capturing and experiencing beauty in its most fragile form, and the failures haunting such impossible attempts.
