Slaughter has existed as long as man has existed and is carried out with procedures that depend on the territories, traditions, culture. I have already gone to take photographs at various types of slaughterhouses, from artisanal to industrial, in Mexico, Argentina and Italy. The goal is not to denounce or make judgments, but to show what is usually hidden, including the palpable presence of death and the silence of the operators who move like robots. It is an experience that involves almost all our senses, is invasive and also forces us to reflect on aspects relating to our own existence.
