Social Disinterest

In Tijuana, in the year 2000, hundreds of multifamily homes were built, by 2007, more than 30,000 had been built.

A new era in the massive construction of collective housing began, a media consumption resulted in the transformation of the boundaries of Tijuana, the periphery showed a new appearance: a "modernized and new urban schemes" offered on the border a "new style" of life".

A decade later, they barely built 2,000 homes, resulting in a territorial phenomenon: the real estate failure.

In Social Disinterest, a photographic series that begins in 2013, I juxtapose the time and the architectural: a detained future, obsolete urban models, half-built serial housing, a silent and melancholy imaginary.

My photographs propose a critical reflection based on the concepts imposed by real estate speculation in Mexico, economic and mortgage models that have created architectural remains as a result.
