On the Oaxacan coast of Mexico, rumblings of previous times are never far from the surface. Tales of shapeshifting, telepathy and dealings with the Devil are embedded in the colonization and enslavement of the Americas.

Through literature, myth and local entanglements, the frontier between reality and fiction, and the seen and unseen, no longer apply.
