EL PERRO - WAYAWAY TRAVELBOX http://www.elperro.info Most speeches related to the movement of people between nations state that immigration is a result of income being higher in the receiving countries. The reality is that the situation in the countries of origin is neither better nor worse than it was years ago. In fact, if we consider the yearbooks of some prestigious international economic institutions, we find that most of the third word countries have reached an important degree of development. If so, then why this avalanche of disowned people? It is understood nowadays that being a citizen means having the right to own what others own. As citizens we hold little interest in politics, what we strive for is to consume the various goods available in the world. We strive to become a consumer democracy which, despite debilitating and delaying the search for specific structural solutions, guarantees us the symbols and privileges of the elite, available in a large scale. Travelbox is a package, similar to that used to carry pieces of art, but adapted for the transport of people. A package made of wood, measuring 150x150x100cm, consisting inside of a polyester chamber, especially designed for human transportation. Seizing financial support from a cultural circuit, the prototype herein submitted has already travelled to: Spain (Madrid), Argentina (Buenos Aires, Cordoba), Paraguay (Asuncion), Uruguay (Montevideo), Guatemala (Guatemala), Colombia (Bogota). An electric battery provides running water, light and ventilation as well as warranting safety, in view of its occupant remaining unseen. El Perro is a collective made up by Ramón Mateos (b. 1968), Iván López (b.1970) y Pablo España (b. 1970).
