Absentia is a project that narrates a journey back to the author's native city (Mexico City) after emigrating to Canada, where she stayed for more than a decade. The book is composed of seven notebooks, each evoking her experience of navigating seven cities: Cali, Buenos Aires, Quito, Lima, Havana, La Paz and Mexico City. As a narrative tool she uses her travel diaries, experimenting with different types of paper and printing processes. The project becomes a reconstruction of her own territory and explores issues related to cultural identity. Relating landscape, memory and territory, it also speaks of nostalgia, loss and belonging.
