Title: Cosmorama
Description: Cosmorama, by Liz Mevill, is an exercise in reappropriation of the daily spaces of Mexico City. The edition is made up of a sequence of images derived from the photographic record of the author's tours of different areas of Mexico City; to whom it seemed an idle exercise to collect obsessively with her cell phone camera objects, spaces, buildings and sunsets, and never consult that archive again. This work is the recovery of those records, of a dead file turned into drawing. The fixation on observing the everyday, on discovering what is in front of her and that gives shape to the place she inhabits, led Liz Mevill to draw a selection of those elements and urban spaces registered and that, in one way or another, make up the ontogenesis of this city in which it exists.
