ALDO ÁLVAREZ TOSTADO, SAN PACHO, MEXICO

In recent years Aldo Álvarez Tostado has noticed how climate change and tourism have combined to disrupt public nature reserves in his hometown of San Pancho, Mexico. For My Mark: My City he created an installation of a barbed wire “fence” at the water’s edge, close to a local tourist resort which has been illegally encroaching onto public land. The installation encourages visitors to reflect on how they have wanted to “own” and control the natural world.
