Todos Marchan is a memoir of historical and social value, depicting the unique moments of the marches that took place in Caracas between 1998 and 2004. The book records the wildness of thousands of citizens expressing themselves in the streets of Caracas, a period marked by the labyrinth of laws and reforms decreed by Hugo Chavez, whose human river is shown in the cover photo. Todos Marchan shows how the streets of Caracas burned, to offer the range of comparison of their ideological colours while waving their symbols, and where each side felt more Venezuelan than the other. Todos Marchan is a portrait of ourselves. A point that immediately emerges in this book is the absence of text, but the slogans and inscriptions on the photographs give us a good insight into the stories and demands, a new way of expressing protest in a large format book, with vivid colours and full-page photographs on double pages, which have a strong impact on the viewer.
