códice vaquero
Centro Cultural Jardín Borda 2015-16
Este proyecto surge de una reflexion acerca de la memoria precolombina de México y sus paralelismos con el México actual, que aún hoy se funden o se colisionan como imágenes de un pasado que consideramos glorioso. ¿Que estamos haciendo con esta memoria? ¿Hemos cambiado o nos estamos repitiendo?.
El proyecto se basa en la apropiación de diversos íconos y documentos coloniales y precolombinos, para replantear el discurso del México contemporáneo.

This project arises from the need to think about the pre-Columbian memory of Mexico and its parallels with contemporary Mexico, which still merge or collide as images from a past that we consider to be glorious. What are we doing with this memory? Have we changed or are we repeating ourselves?
The project is based on the apropiation of various colonial and pre-Columbian icons and documents, in order to rethink the discourse of contemporary Mexico.
