As this work is set in the atmosphere that results from the current surveillance systems and multiple controls, it is inevitably associated with certain modern imagination that sought to anticipate the future from the perspective of persecution, confinement and suffocation in a society where control was everywhere, just like in George Orwell's 1984 or Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 Both novels disturbingly echo in the present and can be found in this work. A gigantic eye bursts into the digital billboards that frantically reproduce videos with different proposals. Suddenly, time seems to stop for a minute and somebody watches us, turning all those who walk by Avenida del Libertador and Callao into "suspects"
