The project Cándido Valdez Cabeza de Vaca (1997) integrates two visions of a common body: Argentina.
"Cabeza de Vaca is the nonsense and insensibility of the conveyance of 200 years of history till 1989 (colonisation, military juntas and death). This is the body of Argentina's history perceived as devastation, as appropriation of nature and public space.
Valdez is the present time, since 1989: the (post)modern, (post mortem) age of globalisation, that means Mac Donalds and CNN. He materializes a modern traveller, a sort of dull "Wanderer" through present times and spaces enhancing his trivial mind with information of TV. His entity is not virtual, but medial: he exists through CNN. Both entities (CNN and cows as colonised public land and space) are real: this is not a virtual work." Gabriela Massuh

"Una investigacion de la identidad argentina, y la colonización mediatica del espacio público. Textos intimistas, altamente politizados, integrados en un grafismo de colores fuertes y motivos simbólicos. Un panorama cronológico que va de 1955 al 2010" (Vicente Carretón Cano/Ars Interruptus/Festival de Vídeo de Navarra 1998 pag.148)
