This video reconstructs the Colombian national anthem from fragments of 1990s soap operas, where slaps appear as a recurrent, dramatized gesture. The blow, transformed into a musical note, shifts from an act of intimate violence into a collective soundscape: the melody of the nation. In this way, the anthem unfolds between the solemn and the grotesque, confronting the televised memory of an era marked by excess, trauma, and everyday violence. The operation exposes the fragility of national symbols and reveals them as constructions permeated by noise and repetition.
