Drawing on the anatomy of colonial space, as described and analysed by Frantz Fanon, Ciudad Dual articulates a visual and auditory critique of urban and ideological colonial segregation in Tetouan during the Spanish Protectorate (1912–1956). The work embodies this socio-political divide in the irreconcilable contrast between the rationalist grid of the modern Ensanche and the organic layout of the walled Medina, revealing how architecture came to be seen as a symbol of colonial power and supremacy.

A rhythmic cadence of military footsteps cuts through the soundscape as a reminder of the apparatus of coercion upon which the colonial enterprise is sustained. Against this sonic backdrop emerge the voices of the Spanish high commissioners, whose speeches reveal the paternalistic rhetoric, condescension and double standards that legitimised metropolitan rule
