While preparing for his “Projectos” (1974-2004) mid-career retrospective in Mexico City for Laboratorio Arte Alameda (CDMX) and the Sala de Arte Publico Siqueiros, he began to document a bit of the local street life. Muntadas frequently saw the term “QUEJAS (complaints)” on the local buses and service vehicles. Along with photographing and cataloguing this local eccentricity, he began to phone the numbers. What he discovered was that the listed phone numbers were either never answered or disconnected.
