SEPTEMBER 1st | 2007
75 people were invited to an event, but were told nothing about what would happen that night, only that they were to be ready at 7pm on the 1st of September 2007. At that time, drivers arrived at their houses, had the participants sign indemnity forms, blindfolded them and took them, by car, through the city to an undisclosed location. Given no information, and sworn to silence, secrecy and blindfolded at all times, the participants were led through a series of lifts and passageways until they were seated in a room and a sound concert was performed by Francisco López. Just before the concert concluded, the audience were led out of the venue and back to the driver’s cars, and driven back to their respective homes. Back home they were un-masked and told nothing of what went on that evening.
