On November 14, 2018, Camilo Catrillanca, a young Mapuche, was shot in the head in the back by a police group trained in Colombia called “Comando Jungla.” This command was created with the mission of pacifying the territory of Araucanía.
Morales Leiva performs a naked photo performance with his back to the camera and in front of a cloth that asks: Have you imagined, thought or wished to die from a shot in the back? After taking the photograph, he prints the photo and posts it as a political banner on the streets of his city, Talca.
