La Argentina no se vende (Argentina Is Not for Sale)

In Argentine football, fans paint their banners by hand. Those rough capitals are the letters football uses for territorial claims, like the Malvinas Islands. This piece moves that lettering from the stands to the body.

The slogan comes from the street: thousands protested a bill that would open rural land to foreign buyers. The words are raised on the skin, like a mark left by the sun or hard work. Not a tattoo, a consequence.

The stands claim the islands. The skin claims the land.
