"In 2008, artist Tania Candiani developed the project "Habita Intervenido", an architectural intervention in the facade of the Hotel Habita (Mexico City), designed by architects Enrique Norten and Bernardo Gómez Pimienta. Taking as a starting point the actions of graffiti and tagging, Candiani launched a reflection on the chameleonic condition of the city, the architecture and the contradictions of the urban image and the possibilities of what is public. This book documents her process of work through various photographs and accompanies it with several texts in which the very idea of the city is discussed."--WorldCat. As New .
