REPETITION, MEXICO, 1968 /2014 /2018

REPETITION is about STUDENT PROTESTS ENDING IN DEATH.

On April 21, 2018, while working on an exhibition commemorating the 1968 Mexico City student massacre, ( 50 YEARS AGO)
I encountered an Al Jazeera news team reporting on student protests in Nicaragua. I was filming the reporter repeating his segment for immediate broadcasting on the same day. The next morning, at 9am more than 10 protesters including a member of the media have been killed.

Repetition - the broadcaster is leanring his lines and is filmed 3 times ; the student killing is repeated - 1968 and now , mexico city and puerto rico at EXACTLY 50 years later; commemoration of 1968 in 2014 also turned fatale for 43 Mexican studetns..

ALSO NOTE: we see a journaist at work , descibing how the police and military move in on the students (but so far not too many casulties) but already next morning... barely 20 horus later, you have 10 studetns dead including people from the media. i consider journalists HEROS. as well as protesting workers and students.

here repetition is tragic, not a farce
