Imagen de Caracas was presented in the east central part of the city at the specially constructed production/exhibition site, the Dispositivo Cuidad (Mechanical City). The project was the most ambitious effort made in Venezuela to integrate the arts, combining image, colors, forms, various stages and kinds of architecture, movement, music, sound, light, the spoken and written word: everything available in the new world of audio-visual expression. The work took two years of continuous labor to complete.

The principal objective was to tell the violent four-hundred-year history of our city. The film about Caracas’ history was divided in two parts: the first part, from the founding of Caracas through the beginning of the last century; the second, from 1800 until the present.
