ABOUT

This Man Kills Me is an unflinching look at Chile’s media landscape—loud, sexist, sensationalist, and addicted to spectacle. Drawing from La Cuarta, the country’s infamous tabloid known for its slang-drenched, misogynistic headlines, this work cuts into the language of a culture that masks violence with humor and forgets history in favor of gossip.

Anchored in irony, not nostalgia, the series exposes the grotesque theater of a decadent media machine—one that has shaped how a nation sees women, politics, and itself. In this visual dissection, popular phrases move not with truth, but with the needs of distraction.

Using image, language, and cultural codes like sanguchito de palta—a Chilean expression for shameless self-exposure—I stage a confrontation with the casual cruelty embedded in mass communication.

As a Chilean immigrant and artist, I’m not revisiting the past—I’m dragging it into the light. This Man Kills Me isn’t a critique from the outside. It’s a reckoning from within.

La Cuarta: popular Chilean newspaper that uses colloquial language in a creative way.

Sanguchito de palta: Chilean expression referring to people who talk openly and shamelessly about their intimacy.
