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.
