In Argentina, where beef occupies a central place in both the national diet and the economy, nearly five million cows are slaughtered each year. As Juan Pablo Meneses writes in Cash Trilogía, “I have a cow, I’m going to kill it.” The images convey the unease this place stirred in me: beyond the horror of animal suffering, what unsettled me most was the normalization of the act among the workers, revealing a system of consumption that legitimizes its own violence. Set within an arid landscape, the slaughterhouse appeared like an artificial oasis, monopolizing a significant share of the region’s water resources. During the shoot, a strong overexposure imposed itself, as if enacting a gesture of voluntary blindness before this reality; the details were only later recovered in the scanning of the negatives.
