El Chinero is a hill located 140 km south of Mexicali, in the Baja California region of Mexico. No one knows how long the site has had this name, but many people speak of a tragic episode that took place there in 1916… Or perhaps it’s a recurring tragedy? A few years after the Mexican Revolution of 1910, the expulsion and hunting of Chinese and other Asians who had been living in Mexico for several decades caused a significant exodus. Despite the lack of documents and archives on this subject, it is believed that around one hundred Chinese migrants died here while crossing the desert. Myth and identity, reality and fiction, ghosts and memory. El Chinero is, in a way, a monument to these forgotten and anonymous people, albeit not being one officially. A place of tragedy without vestiges or traces, without imprints of what happened. How can we fill this memory void with artifacts and images, creating an archive where none exists?
