  • The back of a white postcard with text to the left side and blank lines on the right. The text to the left, written in spanish, is translated as follows: 

“It's like jumping out of a plane. The difference is that I don't see the sky, I don't make figures in the air, I don't have a parachute, I don't have a plane, I don't have air. I only have a void, the equivalent of nothing. Uncertainty. I see the ground and do not know if I'm going to touch it. I distrust my thoughts. I wish I had a parachute, I wish I hadn't jumped, that no one had done it, that there weren't even parachutes or planes or the act of jumping itself.  
But that's just what I want. 
Maybe I'll turn into a stain when I hit the ground, one more silhouette on the street. Maybe then good people will come and hide my footprint with gray paint. Maybe it's worth staining the pavement.”

  • An illustrated postcard. On a light pink background and illustrated in red are two people dancing in a museum space. A large, red, grim reaper-like creature comes out of the right side of the illustration with its mouth wide open, displaying its sharp teeth, and its large hand coming down below the people to make it look as if they are dancing on its hand. To the left side is a wall with two pieces of artwork and an arched walkway.

  • The back of a white postcard with text to the left side and blank lines on the right. The text to the left, written in spanish, is translated as follows: 

“I was with my friends at a party in an 18th century European palace and we had wigs like Mozart's. Everyone had a partner except me. There was a moment, in the midst of the dance, when the ESMAD (the Mobile Anti-Disturbance Squadron).  arrived. I was in charge of realizing the assault and notifying the others. I ran around the palace pulling wigs, but everyone was dirty dancing. 

When the shots began to ring out, my friends sought a hiding place. As I ran looking for mine, I realized that this was not a palace but an art exhibition. I felt imprisoned, like in every museum. I did not find any work of art that would serve as a refuge and I woke up scared by the last shot from ESMAD (the Mobile Anti-Disturbance Squadron).”

  • An illustrated postcard with a tan and yellow background. The black figure of a person stands, like a shadow, with their arms up and hands turned up and crossing each other; their hands in hot pink with eyes in the spaces between their thumb and pointer finger. Reflected in front of them is the same scene with a person drawn in light pink. Scribbles of green, black, and dark red decorate the people.

  • The back of a white postcard with text to the left side and blank lines on the right. The text to the left, written in spanish, is translated as follows: 

“The sound of the helicopters encompassed my dreams. A giant dragonfly hurled rays at the hungry children who walked by its side. These green and white insects launched from their bellies men dressed in black with masks, tonfa, and pepper spray. They used it all to finish the work of their insect mother against the children who, in turn, tried to defend themselves with stones, sticks and bonfires. 

One by one, the children were falling, some without eyes, others beaten, others dead, very few were left standing and around them red carnations bloomed. 
In a second everything was forgotten, and it seemed that nothing had happened: the dragonflies flew calmly, the men dressed in black took photos of themselves dancing in the churches, and around them only the carnations of the fallen children remained.”

  • An illustrated postcard separated into squares and sections. Purple rain clouds fill the top row with a different color in each square, from left to right: dark blue, teal, light purple, light pink, and red. These colors create five columns. Throughout each column is an abstract face made out of lines. The dark blue column has the face of a person with their head in their hand, their tears forming a puddle. The teal column has the face of a depressed person, the rain falling around them. The purple column has a face where the tears well around the person’s eyes, falling upwards and going into the cloud. The light pink column has a person crying red tears that form a puddle. The red column has an illustration of a skull.

  • The back of a white postcard with text to the left side and blank lines on the right. The text to the left, written in spanish, is translated as follows: 

“I dream of a pavement of eyes blinking and crying in the rain. Sometimes the tears form a red puddle, others are confused with the rain, a few rise instead of falling. There are also people with empty eyes and sockets who cry. Their passing over the pavement seems natural. You don't hear anything. They cry over the eyes on the asphalt and they blink and cry back.”

“I dreamed that I was in the U with my friends and that they murdered us. It was all very bloody. When the paramilitaries left, we had to hide our bodies and hide ourselves (another post mortem body) so that no one would see us, since we were supposed to have been discharged.”

  • The back of a white postcard with text to the left side and blank lines on the right. The text to the left, written in spanish, is translated as follows: 

“I wake up crying because in my dreams I try to look for someone who is missing. I run around everywhere and everyone buys their things, calmly, without seeing the blood stains on their little packages. I shout to them where are those who have not returned to their patch for 20 days. They tell me to shut up and I try to bite my tongue -until I remove a piece and spit it out, stating that these people who interrupt their lunch know the blood they swallow in their little packages, the blood that washes their hands, their clothes, their dishes. The young blood that fertilizes the cane fields with which they sweeten their first coffee of the day.”

  • The back of a white postcard with text to the left side and blank lines on the right. The text to the left, written in spanish, is translated as follows: 

“A troop of the dead passed through the street of my neighborhood recruiting volunteers. People crowded through the doors with photos of their sons and daughters missing in the protests to see if the skeletons recognized them. A woman came out with her husband's photo in her hand, touched the shoulder of one of the soldiers who stopped, scratched her skull, shrugged her shoulders, and continued on her way. 

Then Doña Marisol came out with the photo of her adolescent son, slipped through the rows and stood up to the dead man who had medals hanging from his rib cage. They pushed it away with a scythe. They kept marching to the rhythm of something like the national anthem.”

“Last night I dreamed that in the mountains where you can see crops like green scale mats, they were planting ESMAD (the Mobile Anti-Disturbance Squadron). There were pieces in which there were barely two or three, but there were others where there were many and as they grew, they learned to hit.”
