Undercover is a visual essay on the uncertainty associated with corruption in the real estate market of Mexico City. A visual metaphor that depicts a city overwhelmed by the real estate pressure of housing developments, many of which were built under the shadow of corruption, as evidenced by the tragic earthquake on September 19, 2017, in which, according to official figures, 369 people died. Buildings covered with black fabric appear as involuntary symbols of mourning, symbols of the corrupt agreements carried out covertly and clandestinely between authorities and real estate developers. Images that are presented opaque to our gaze as a denunciation of the violence that accompanies corruption, which, like power, [...] is characterized by being unobservable. The strategy of power is opacity and concealment, and the codes and agreements among those who share its privileges lack transparency and cannot be seen [...] (Segato, 2018). The taxonomic serialization of these anonymous sculptures alludes to the repetition of the event, the systemic and interconnected repetition between corruption, uncertainty, and power. Through this visual metaphor sustained in the poetics of black fabrics covering entire buildings, I avoid falling into the visual violence of showing the heartbreaking scenes that are behind the veil, because, as Farocki argues, otherwise people will "first close their eyes to the images, then close their eyes to memory, then to facts, and finally, they will close them to the entire context."
