Animation from the feltpens drawing on paper. It shows two passages through the space of small and squalid Marketplace Morelos in Mexico city, which will be pulled down in few years and the supermarket will be built at its place. Author compared the act of everyday drawing in the marketplace to the work of the local community working in its space. By the strategy of coming regularly to draw to their working-day space she gained the confidence of the local people. The texts reinterpret the conversations of the author with the sellers, keepers of the stands, craftsmen, regular customers, illegal sellers, jobless people, homeless, drug users. Animation describes the social relationships, economical rules and problems as corrupcy, illegal market, loss of the traditional way of life in the example of the small local marketplace and brings them to global contexts.
