‘Mi vida’ is the vivid antithesis to Kraftwerk’s ‘Autobahn’, depicting a car journey which ends in disaster in non-linear narrative form, commencing with the turn of ignition key, followed immediately by the sound of a calamitous smash, then exploring all points in between. It’s as much Martínez’s editing skills as the concept that make the piece.
