Also to Zapadores Ciudad del Arte for serving as a workshop for the Realization of this Residency during the month of May.
Re-inhabit the place with the body measurement as a reference.

«Sappers has 23,000 square meters of perimeter, a place that my body faces and is the first confrontation between architecture and body, providing a system of measurement through the height that I have, which is one sixty-one.
The action consisted of surrounding the 23,000 square meters by walking. This means that with the foot-to-foot system, I begin to walk around the architecture of Zapadores in conjunction with a GPS application which leaves the trace of what I am walking.

I decide to start climbing and feel the measurements compared to what my body presents. Surround the rectangle walking one by one. This allows me to create a digital drawing which I understand as the scale that my body allows in relation to Zapadores, City of Art».
