Director Statement

Híper-urbanización propone una alegoría del precepto urbanístico y humano de la sociedad bogotana, los comportamientos moldeados a la lógica de una ciudad que impone a sus habitantes conjunciones sociales y tiempos que deshumanizan su comportamiento, en resumen, una “prisión con calles”. Roosbel en un día de su vida comprende por toda la problemática de una planificación urbana excluyente y formulada con intereses económicos de por medio.

Hyper Urbanization presents an allegory of the urbanistic and human precepts of Bogotá's society, through which people's behavior is shaped in dehumanizing ways by social conjunctions and times imposed by a city which, in other words, is a "prison made up of streets". In his daily life Roosbel is affected by the problems brought on by non-inclusive urban planning driven by financial interests.
