As the numbers of missing people in Mexico continue to rise, Tótem explores the particularities of this type of violence, and imagines new forms of resistance in the movements that have emerged against it. The story of two archaeologists searching in vain for an ancient Olmec head in a murky river appears recurrently, questioning the very act of documenting the absent and the invisible.
