urban cancer project.

urban cancer project in guadalagara, jalisco, mexico by gilberto esparza. [via coin-op.]

gilberto esparaza incorporates certain metastasis that he calls, cancers of metropolis, -functional and visual anomalies-, reflecting on the compulsive growth of the city. the urban cancer is a disorderly, rapid proliferation of elements of a sector, that invade locally and to distance, other healthy elements of the environment. these anomalies took shape through interventions in the public space documented photographic, such as a post of the public lighting that presents an excessive multiplication of luminaries, the deformation of a white line on the pavement of a street caused by the exaggerated increase of its length or the discharge of a steer in a pedestrian zone of the center of the city.
