Plazuela del Moral

Within the celebration of the XIII FEMSA Biennial in the city of Zacatecas, a public space was granted for the construction of an art pavilion that represented the idea and values of the edition’s statement: “We were never contemporary”, a concept based on the book “We were never modern” by Bruno Latour, where a search for hybrid formations between the historical and the contemporary is undertaken. The Plaza del Moral is in the city center block being reached through an alley from the main street in the city of Zacatecas. Based on the urban analysis, the idea is to invite users to interact with it and test their intuitive knowledge of the square and its components; the piece is a conceptual replication of the plaza on a smaller scale. Through the interaction of the user with the plaza, new moments are generated related to basic human actions such as sitting, laying down, and talking.
