This project started from the first day of June 2020.
Peru is one of the countries most affected by Covid19 due to the collapse of hospitals, informal employment and, above all, poverty. Until now, there is no clear date for the problem to end.
Because of this, the time distances are getting longer and longer, and seeing loved ones again is imprecise.
The dynamics of human interaction have radically changed.
After three months away, two friends propose, through rules, new ways to approach through video letters.
Talking  with images of everyday life and virtually visiting places where they want to be, are proposals for dialogue that lead to a piece.
The piece  presented does not differentiate one author from the other, but, it is a union of both in one audiovisual corpus.

19km  is still in the process of creation.
