mangú con pollo guisado play’s with the audience’s view of the subject eating this hearty meal that was prepared by their mother. The audience’s view of watching them eat is disrupted as their face becomes a heavily pixelated and fuzzy reflection in the surface of a screen. The only tangible evidence of consumption is textured by the arm that is feeding them, as well as the sounds of the fork collecting the food and of them chewing, breathing, and digesting.
