Mariela Sancari
[The project] raises the question of presence and absence. The artist was present and her father absent before the project. The project gave birth to the father once again. He is now not only Mariela's father, but he is also Moisés himself.
[El proyecto] plantea una pregunta sobre presencia y ausencia. La artista estaba presente y su padre estaba ausente antes del proyecto. El proyecto devuelve la vida al padre y ahora no es sólo el padre de Mariela, sino también Moisés, por sí mismo.

It gives the anonymous passers-by in a big city their identity back. When he separated out each passer-by from his video and sorted them by the color of their clothing, they are called by their own name and they become individuals with an identity at last.
Devuelve a los transeúntes anónimos de una gran ciudad su identidad. Cuando separa a cada transeúnte de su vídeo y los clasifica por el color de su ropa, los llama por su propio nombre, vuelven a ser finalmente individuos con una identidad.
