Landslide, 2007
|
In 1987 an awful landside erased an entire neighborhood called Villatina in the outskirts of Medellin city, leaving hundreds of victims. The disaster remains in people’s memories until today and remind us the constant threat of nature when we build with any housing and urban planning.
This installation piece alludes to this painfull event to rise further questions on the problems asociated to the common practice, not only in Medellin but in different places in Latinamerica of building up on unstable terrains to appropriate and inhabit precarious territories. |
