CAMACHO, Juan Diego. The city as a formal refletion. Índex [online]. 2018, n.5, pp.112-119. ISSN 2477-9199.  https://doi.org/10.26807/cav.v0i05.136.

This article exposes the reflections around the piece “Lo Que Será Será y Así Fue”, which was part of the exhibition Cuerpos de Lengua – KILL in the Museum of Contemporary Art of Zulia, Venezuela, in November 2017. Through an architectonic installation, the piece makes visible an urban reality that the big cities from the developing countries has in common, but, despite their multiples cultural and linguistic differences, they share an architectonic typology. The piece refers to several concepts from the cities, perhaps abstract and invisibles, like their rights, the territory, the power and the identity, while pointing out the museum aesthetic apparatus and the aesthetic of beauty.

Keywords : city; territory; power; mobility; hiperdegradation; architecture; installation; ambientation..
