"Ayataki" (2022-2023) is an animated video and surround sound installation by the artist, commissioned and produced by Artpace, San Antonio, TX (US) and the Denver Art Museum, CO (US) debuted in "Who tells a tale adds a tail: Latin America and contemporary art" at Denver Art Museum. Through visuals and a collaged original score, reinterpreted with a synthesizer by the artist, Peruvian Andean folkloric music is intertwined with Quechua church melodies, radio transmissions, Spanish dialogues, sorrowful voices, pan-flutes, raging guitars, and radio commercial propaganda to relay a tale of forced displacement due to violence and war. The radio tower, the bomb cars, and burned rural houses often targeted by the terrorist group Shinning Path during the internal war in Peru have become symbols of terror, loss, and despair of that time. This work as a whole is a lamentation on the Andean landscape. Social issues and historical events are presented in a nonlinear narrative, and the mixed poetic and formal composition of sound constructs a solemn funeral cadence which sonically reflects a mourning for those who did not survive the war.
