Statement
Tlatelolco, emblematic architectural work inaugurated in 1964, is for Wiseman “both a choreographed urban landscape and the portrait of a community” in this project documented in photography and video, which has the invaluable collaboration of the residents of the Chihuahua Building.
Additional information
The Zacatecas and Chihuahua buildings witnessed the great tragedies that have characterized this housing complex: the Tlatelolco massacre in 1968 and the 1985 earthquake. Through this work, Adam Wiseman pays homage to its inhabitants.
