Frozen Cities to Survive the End of the World
Frozen Cities to Survive the End of the World' is a project consisting of a lecture and scenic tour of the city based on preserving the memory of the most violent cities in Mexico. These cities are frozen through the theatre as a means of survival.
The project came into being in the context of violence generated by crime, challenging the city's relationships as a body of architecture that has arisen over time and to which all the societies that have inhabited it have contributed.
Thus arises the need to preserve in refrigeration the memory of the city, transgressed by violence, orienting one's thoughts towards the process of gradual extinction that is being experienced by some cities of the world. Among the legacies of their civilizations is a striving to resist and survive the end of times.
Scenic tour: This is an urban route marked by four scenic seasons. Four refrigerators will be installed at these stations, within which visitors will find the essence of one of the most violent cities in Mexico and the societies that have inhabited them. The purpose will be to operate a device within each refrigerator to trigger an immediate sensory experience based on the following significant essences of the aforementioned cities.
