Efectos de familia is a series of self-referential performances documented on video in which Aragón directs his brothers and cousins (children) to re enact scenes from their own family history, related to organized crime.

Inspired by a microhistory of Aragon's family’s involvement with organized crime, abusive pursuit of land ownership, and involvement in social corruption,  it is an insider’s analysis of someone seeking to discover how much a society can be corrupted under the disaster of the national economy. The 13 videos are brief episodes in this history, a sort of choreography with specific rules: long takes to frame the nature of the actions without any editing, a fixed camera for theatricalized actions,and, in the case of re enactments, a close following of the action to show a minor detail, like the killing of a relative. Ultimately the episodes are different rituals, games, and punishments that manifest the conceptual notions of crime and survival.
