street graffiti found in San Jose, Javier Sanchez,  the graffiti artist was invited to reproduce his same graffiti in the facade of Teoretica art space. the years on the graffiti record three different dates of banana workers strike in Costa Rica, the country where 'everything is perfect and there's no social unrest'.

 "There is a close relationship namely, between the coal, the massacres, and the military, because this material can always be found in the mass graves. In most cases, houses and corpses are burned. I knew that the coal would be cleared away before the parade. I scattered it at about two o'clock in the morning, and at seven o'clock it had already been removed. But there were still traces left. I wanted the military to walk over these traces, and to be able to take photos of the marching army. Since I work with signs that have somehow established themselves, in this case the coal that points to the massacres and the mass graves, I refer with the action to existing problems, without becoming too obvious. It wasn't my intention for the spectators to perceive these signs, but rather that the military itself should notice them."
