The project tells the story of Mexico City from the perspective of its bodies of water. Originally built on a lake, the city currently suffers from constant droughts caused by uncontrolled growth and excessive exploitation of its water resources. The project consists of an immersive installation where experimental cartography seeks to articulate different scales and dimensions of the city. The story is constructed from a non-human perspective where infrastructure, urban layouts, and their relationship with water are presented as multiple layers that expose a narrative arc from the colonial era to the present day.

In terms of data, the project seeks to juxtapose archival information on urban mapping and infrastructure, historical data and data produced experimentally for the project through DIY citizen sensors.
