Mondo Trasho is the title of a film directed by John Waters in 1969. It is part of the American counterculture movement of the 1970s. In 2016, Sabrina Fernández Casas travelled to Lima, Peru, and heard about Mondo Trasho; she bought the informal patent, catalogues and negative prints. The complete work comprised over 5,000 films, amounting to 7,500 hours or 312.5 days of nonstop viewing. Watching just one film a day, it would take 13.69 years to view the entire Mondo Trasho opus. Once the stock was broken down, Fernández Casas used her status as an artist to transform it and cross physical, cultural and political limits to make it an artefact. She thus burnished the image of Mondo Trasho by giving it the status of an archive while drawing on it to produce thought-provoking pieces of art.
