Displacements: Venice Biennal
Result
(/)
The Mexico pavilion at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennial proposed architectural projecting as a process that can embrace fiction as a method; as such, we established that the objective for its website would be to remove the experience from the confines of biennials. In parallel with the other materials, we built a publication that, given the sanitary crisis, could not possibly exist physically. The wall text, placed in the pavilion’s foyer, was designed to simulate an open book and act as a preface; the website worked as the insides of a book; the social media plan acted as an editorial note.
