ES UNA PENA QUE EL HORMIGÓN NO ARDA

Based on artistic research carried out as part of the Desplazamenduak / Desplazamientos #1 grant, Raquel Meyers constructs a critical artifact in the form of an expanded essay entitled “Es una pena que el hormigón no arda” (It's a shame that concrete doesn't burn), set in the cities of Palma and Irun. 

 

An emotional and political archaeology of late capitalism: tourism, cement, expulsion, precariousness, algorithms, and social strata. A collage of memory, archive, teletext, and urbanism that does not welcome, but repels.
