Synopsis
NO is a photographic investigation documenting poorly executed electrical installations.
Through these images, the series reveals an urban landscape characterized by improvised and
challenging solutions in the realm of electricity. These interventions, ranging from precarious
connections to unexpected configurations, serve as a visual metaphor for human fragility and creativity in the face of formal systems that are often inaccessible or insufficient. The photographs aim to
construct both a symbolic and literal portrait of the social dynamics manifested in these electrical
interventions, prompting reflection on the relationship between technology, social informality,
and urban space as a web of constantly competing forces.
This is the second part of the La Trilogía del Margen book trilogy:
