Live Flesh (2009)
Video (12’)

‘Live Flesh’ is chain of interlinked short stories about a knife made from the bone of a dog, which is passed from hand to hand. Stories from everyday life in the city of Tijuana that talk about our relationship to life and death and the will to live or survive, and set up a link between the knife that forms the narrative thread and HIV.
