„Que cuenta la calle“ (What the street tells) is a video-and performance-project by Anahí Andersen and Thora Hohberg.
The project confronts the living environment that people have created for themselves and how life within it evolves.

Products on shelves; one’s own life as a display surface. Behind and between them: mountains of trash in the landscape, scraps of refuse in the streets.

Screens before our eyes—digital walls between people; plastic skins wrapping organic matter; amidst the fabric against our skin, we become strangers to one another.

In the media, numbers tell the stories of people's fates.

We bury our problems under more and more... things, comforts, rungs on the career ladder, our own faces hidden behind selfies on the Inter-net.
At what point do people become sufficiently alien and distant to us that we no longer feel empathy?

How far would we go?
Who do we become—as human beings—in a form of society where compensated isolation and sensory overload are omnipresent?
What is all this "more" for?

Is what we are looking for really so difficult to find, or have we simply unlearned how to perceive it?
