The title combines two Spanish words: mesoparásito and sitio. The first, refers to a type of parasite that lives partially embedded in its host, or between two spaces; the second alludes to a siege or to besiege. The title points to the general coordinates of the Museo de Arte de El Salvador as an exhibition space. A soundscape is composed of recordings and digital sounds, whose origin oscillates between abstraction and representative sounds of gunshots, helicopters, etc.
