Gate of Hell

Iron fences are also used to lock people up in prisons or shield illegal activities away from the eyes of bystanders. In Colombia, houses in residential neighborhoods were used as the scene of murders during the 80s and 90s. Such as Montecasino, the house of the Castaños, in Medellin. Within the walls of the house, countless crimes were conducted, but from the outside, all people could see were the majestic fences enclosing it. Those fences where the basis of my work Gate of Hell.

Gates of Hell reminds us that hell was here too.
