In 1970, during the extensive leadership of the Ukrainian leader Leonid Brezhnev, significant progress was made in the policy of détente between the United States and the Soviet Union. However, a powerful anti-American narrative continued to be disseminated internally within the Soviet state. In the piece "Chasing the Wind," Carrasco reproduces a phrase taken from an anti-American cartoon from the 1970s, depicting a sign that read, "Everyone can be a millionaire!" While the original cartoon showed a impoverished and depressed ad-man carrying the sign through the streets of Manhattan, this piece forces us to look in the mirror at a time when power balances, nuclear threats, and the clash between blocs are once again part of our daily narrative.


En 1970, durante el extenso mandato del líder ucraniano Leonid Brézhnev se avanzó considerablemente en la política de distensión entre los Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética. Sin embargo, se seguía difundiendo un potente relato antiestadounidense a nivel interno en el Estado soviético. En la pieza “Correr tras el viento” Carrasco reproduce una frase extraída de una viñeta antiamericana de los años 70 en la que se podía ver un cartel que rezaba: “¡Todo el mundo puede ser millonario!”. Mientras la viñeta original mostraba a un hombre-anuncio paupérrimo y deprimido, portando el cartel por el centro de Manhattan, esta pieza nos obliga a mirarnos en el espejo, en un momento en el que los equilibrios de fuerzas, la amenaza nuclear y el choque entre bloques vuelve a ser parte de nuestro relato cotidiano.


El 1970, durant el llarg mandat del líder ucraïnès Leonid Brezhnev, es va avançar considerablement en la política de distensió entre els Estats Units i la Unió Soviètica. No obstant això, es continuava difonent un potent relat antiamericà a nivell intern a l'Estat soviètic. En la peça "Correr darrere del vent", Carrasco reproduïx una frase extreta d'una vinyeta antiamericana dels anys 70 en què es podia veure un cartell que rezava: "¡Tothom pot ser milionari!". Mentre la vinyeta original mostrava un home-anunci molt pobre i deprimido, portant el cartell pel centre de Manhattan, aquesta peça ens obliga a mirar-nos en l'espill, en un moment en què els equilibris de forces, la amença nuclear i el xoc entre blocs torna a ser part del nostre relat quotidià.
