Torres Marquez, in a workshop led by Rogelio López Cuenca and coordinated by Elo Vega, held amid the celebration of the Bicentennial of Mexican Independence and the Centennial of the Revolution, in 2010 – at the Cultural Center of Spain in Mexico.

Can a map in any way represent the changing polymorphism discarded and the discontinuous areas in the blind areas of the spectacle city ? How to make visible the social boundaries that are inscribed on the skin itself; underline underground speeches, subaltern, signal the official street temples where precarious living rites glare resistance to the fulgor of images of global goods that look at us as severed members of our own body?

Other city maps of Mexico are drawn with invisible ink outside the Pantheon and the timing and ephemeris and heroes: maps of disruptions and fractures, missteps, subways, lost steps, wading the subordinate courts large uniformed avenues of the systematic triumphant parade.
