Eduardo Abaroa's Miniature Torture Scenes Critique Globalization
Eduardo Abaroa's work "Aromas del oficio" consists of eight mini-environments featuring small rubber skeletons subjected to unusual torments, accompanied by texts reproducing the victim's deposition. The colorful and amusing exteriors contrast with the alienated characters' inability to express themselves beyond clichés. This dichotomy represents the paradoxical structure of a globalizing Mexico and society at large.
