The Lion

Diana Bustamante- 2022

A body covered in a blood-stained sheet lies on a ping-pong table, located on what appears to be a stage. Drawing from this image found in the Colombian news archives, this documentary piece bears witness to how death, paradoxical and ineffable, has inhabited a space never intended for it: the León de Greiff Auditorium at the National University of Colombia.
