Visitors entering the installation Aire/Air (2003), find a room that is empty, apart from a couple of working air-conditioning units. But the slightly humid atmosphere is haunted; the air is cooled by water from public mortuaries in Mexico City that was used to wash the bodies of unidentified murder victims prior to autopsy.
