On this occasion, Opazo ironizes the notion of the totem represented in the contemporary art museum institution as a legitimizing entity of the direction or direction of the poetics and the sensitive trace of humanity.

The museum or contemporary art center strengthened by modernity based on paradigms such as the cult of the object, the author and the conservation of the work; also, as a mark of meaning or aesthetic trace, as a preserver of isms and motivator of patterns inherited even by our most recent generations and, the above versus the ancient notion of totem based on the depth or origin of a culture, as a rhythmic signal that propagates the development of a common sense through individual and collective manifestations, public and detached or alien to modern paradigms, which include - in our time - within the totemic notion: the power of the market, the political practice in search of profit, fashion and media.
