Kicking Rights Cup (2022), produced in collaboration with APDHE (Asociación Pro Derechos Humanos
España), this video was created as a critical response to the human rights violations associated with the World Cup in Qatar, coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In it, Ampudia has replaced the soccer ball with the book Universal Declaration of Human Rights, questioning the dominant uncritical view that the entertainment industry overlooks and drawing on Peter Sloterdijk’s (2006) reflections on soccer culture, in which the thinker compares a soccer match to a hunting scene.
