Overview
A pig is roasted over an open fire, the spit attached to the back wheel of a car. When the car accelerates the pig turns at different speeds, while the voice of Residente Calle 13, a young reggaetón singer from Puerto Rico, addresses the viewer in Spanish. He draws on examples of non-human social organizations, such as those among bats, termites, and ants, for possible alternative modes of being-in-common and describes a possible path for contemporary experience. The world he describes is an antagonistic state of order and disorder, civility and barbarity, in an age of armed globalization.
