Mexico City

It was built on top of Tenochtitlán, the city of the Mexica, the water-city. Reclaimed from the lake and sprinkled with the blood of animal and human sacrifices.

Destroyed and rebuilt for centuries, by conquest, war and revolutions, shaped by religious and political leaders, workers and builders.

Its architects, like the ancient ones, keep on building monuments for its gods, functional, huge and beautiful. We are impressed  and seduced by their size, we are reminded how small we really are in the passing of time.

The city brings together ideologies, histories, arts, cultures and the constant movement of machines and people leaving ephemeral and transitory traces of existence. The city that grew over a lake and it is now sinking.
