Plumed Serpent and Other Parties is a narrative continuation of the artist’s project at Museum Tamayo under the same title. It belongs to a series of large-format works about an ominous
presence of a recurring dream – the territory of Mexico in flames.
These maps have no traces of human presence or urban sprawl. In this apocalyptical vision the only residuals of human existence are fires, distributed around the whole territory. These fires
produce heavy smoke, covering the northern part of American continent.
The lost territories are not visible anymore. Similarly the future of North America seems to be
shrouded in a dense fog.Within this dystopian dream another dream occurs: rose garlands and quetzals, colorful birds under the threat of extinction, appear out of nowhere, bringing hope to
a hopeless situation.
