INTERNATIONAL
International food.
“Tacna bus, Tacna, let’s go to Tacna, the heroic city of Tacna…”
Horns. Documents. Suitcase wheels wanting to go up to the hold. Accents from other latitudes.
“La Paz, Bolivia, good day, please come in. La Paz, Bolivia, is departing soon. You must have a valid Peruvian document…”

“Good afternoon. Document stamping. There it is, thank you very much, safe travels. Hello, good afternoon…”
“International” is the looping sound at the origin and the end of a journey to international Arica. A revolving door from which one cannot tell if thousands of people are entering or leaving every day. Because Arica doesn’t only exist within it, it’s not a landscape, it’s not a continent. There is more Arica outside of it.
