La ciudad no está sobre la nada (LCNESLN) is an exhibition curated by Jardines Subterráneos that proposes the suspension of a concrete piece by means of a water counterweight. A portion of the material with which almost all of the swamp, Buenos Aires, is built is revealed and in the air.
LCNESLN exposes the piece to new observations and drifts. The mold of that which was underground is now above. Raising a well, a body that now weighs and counterweights. This useless piece makes, during its stay in Disponible, an unthinkable journey to its final disposal -at the end of the exhibition- as a coastal landfill along with its debris peers.
