To begin with ...WHO WE ARE..?
The adequate consideration of such as important topic can not be short or simple, and the analysis of the approaches and the technique and formal solutions used by the artist requires a consideration of the technical, formal, and semantic aspects of his works.
Arguedas's inquiry into who we are has stimulated political and sociocultural reflections focused on the fabric of power relations inherent in the structure of our society.
This interest serves as the basis for the creation of scenes in which masquerades and other images with colonial roots coexist alongside important figures from the entertainment industry, as well as other images of political, and religious nature.
