Self-build. Construction Manual

Por Georgina Cebey

‍

The aim of this very brief Manual is to point out the observations and data that gave rise to the small and medium format pictorial and sculptural work in this exhibition. It discusses the materials used in construction and their applications; materials that once were part of a whole that has since collapsed and have been dispersed on the margins of the city; the social life encapsulated in each of those commonly used elements; and their possible combinations and applications once they are no longer useful or have been put to other ends. It is especially addressed to those possessed by the spirit of the cinderblock, spontaneous self-build builders, and in general those interested in the tensions that shape the urban landscape of the Mexican periphery.
