Emptiness is a visually striking experimental documentary that explores the complex intersections between body, power, and faith. Through a sequence of dense, symbolic compositions, the film unfolds as a thunderous meditation on the abuses of capital and the collapse of language. Mercado constructs a stark visual and sonic architecture where medicine and religion appear as intertwined systems of biopower—structures that discipline, sanctify, and ultimately exhaust the body. Minimal yet overwhelming, Emptiness confronts the spectator with the material presence of the “body-thing,” situating the human form at the center of a critical reflection on control, belief, and emptiness itself.

Saca una Foto was completed several months after the Zapatista Revolution in January of 1994. Filmed throughout Chiapas and Yucatan the film juxtaposes the Western influences on the Maya and the filmmaker’s own sense of intrusion. The sounds of Spanish opera interwoven with the shaman chant through the corridors of an ancient Mayan palace, and the reoccurring voice of a young Mayan girl asking to have her picture taken for money - ”Saca una foto” - take my picture, depicts the complexities the filmmaker has towards making the film. The clashing of modern day Mexico with ancient tradition is reflected in the awkwardness of the eye of the camera.

"'The People in the House' examines the dynamics of a family in crisis and questions the role of religious devotion in the perpetuation of dysfunction. The exterior of the house is never seen, and the family's anxiety, as is often the case, plays out within the confines of four walls. Filmed with a dreamy, surreal quality, 'The People in the House' dwells within the tension between harmony and chaos." - Liz Czach, Toronto Film Festival Catalogue, Canada, 1995
