Due to its isolated position between ocean and desert, the small port of Pisagua, in the north of Chile, is unfortunately known for having been transformed into a concentration camp and port of exile for political dissidents during dictatorial regimes. The 2006 video Pisagua was shot by director Veronica Quense, when the latter went with Lemebel to visit the city and collect the testimonies of the residents. The result of their experience is this action in which the artist walks barefoot, holding his heels in his hand, towards the sea. With every step he takes on the white cloth Lemebel leaves behind faint blood-colored footprints: a tribute to all the homosexuals and dissident feminists who lost their lives in that place.
