Melvin Lara: Open Studio

Based on a photographic exploration of Lake Texcoco—a space marked by unfinished urban projects—Melvin Lara delves into the tensions between the natural and the artificial that shape the ruins of this landscape: staged parks, intervened bodies of water, waste zones, and incomplete structures. By reclaiming the error inherent to the photographic medium, Melvin Lara shifts his workspace on site to invite us to rethink photographic materiality in the present, where the extractive dimension of the image conditions its possibilities. The appearance of photographic error, along with the display devices designed by the artist, becomes a metaphor for the site’s ambiguous condition, revealing the artifice underlying all photography.

Visits by appointment after the opening.
