Paracaidista, 2004 Héctor Zamora Intervention |
Experimental construction of a residence over the Vertical plan of the Museum of Art Carrillo Gil’s façade. For its execution, self-construction techniques were used. They were researched in the process of urban population of the suburbs of Mexico City and combined with a structural system that allowed it to be suspended from the top of the building. | The work uses organic strategies in order to create a symbiotic, epiphyte and/or parasite relationship with the building, the city, the institutions and/or the people. By taking possession of the public space, a new independent and autonomous address has been created – 1608 bis (Bis is used in Mexico when there are two addresses in a same number) – which was inhabited by the artist for 3 months. | The word paracaidista, besides meaning parachutist, is the name given in Mexico to people who occupy irregularly a piece of land. | Photographer: Fernando Medellín
