Seismo

San Juan, Argentina, 15th January of 1944. An earthquake of 7.8 magnitude on the Richter scale destroyed 90 percent of the city, built with mud bricks. 

​

Due to the lack of speeches produced by the tragedy, this piece aims to elaborate on “the seismic condition”, a natural state of constant transformation. I propose a poetic intervention, using mud bricks from former ruins to build different monuments of 1,80m tall. Once they are finished I destroy them.
