For five months I met children in the state of social and economic vulnerability, specifically children who do not attend school and work or live on the streets, and were proposed to exchange their old clothes with new ones; this as part as the “On the carpet” work made ​​in 2012 in the state of Puebla, Mexico. In this process I was unable to document the action in photography and / or video so I decided to ask the children to write their names on their clothes so to have a record of the material that was recovered.

This archive refers to educational problems in Mexico, the false idea of ​​progress as well as other questions such the labels that we use to name and classify the world around us.
