YOSHUA OKON Bocanegra, 2005 - 2007

Bocanegra is a room-filling video installation divided into four sections. The title refers to a group of Nazi aficionados who named their organization after the Mexico City street where they hold weekly meetings. The group is an odd amalgam of true fascists, World War II history buffs, fetishists, and weekend hobbyists who would surely have fallen foul of 'real' Nazi racial diktat. Okón gained their trust and they agreed to collaborate in a series of orchestrated situations, which were recorded on video.
