Asentamiento is a piece of video art that shows shots of people with Mapuche inheritance and their faces. The subjects come from very different places, such as the inside of the Mapuche world view, while others come from a distant position. The work pretends to unveil the different conditions of people with indigenous backgrounds, by stressing their own reach to the existing prejudices of certain stereotyped phenotype about the Mapuche people. The work was exhibited in Santiago, capital of Chile, city that, according to the last census, is the city with most inhabitants of this ethnic group in the country.
