After the presidential election in 2006 in which Andres Manuel López Obrador participated, Felipe Calderón’s victory generated disputes over the electoral procedure. A vote-by-vote review was requested to confirm any victory. In the exhibition Limbo, the curator Leonardo Ramírez invited artists to intervene in spaces outside the exhibition rooms of the Carrillo Gil Museum.

The ant operation travels the stairs and corridors of the museum to disappear into a lavatory on the top floor. The installation ironically refers to the outcome of the 2006 presidential elections in Mexico.
