About ‘Zona – An investigation report’:
‘After the housing crisis caused by the economic and political power, the housing authority decided to open an investigation to assess its consequences. Given that previous reports were ambiguous, fieldwork was needed. Thus an investigator was sent to ZONA with the specific aim of preparing a visual report on the urban post-crisis. A new normal seemed to have taken over.‘
Zona is a doc-fiction that analyzes the consequences of the housing crisis. An investigator prepares a report that functions as a device to build this analysis. Mutations, trauma, and fractures of the post-conflict become evident. The work personifies the research working method, which compares and obsessively analyzes situations, details, objects, sizes, etc. The goal is to find something that can explain the new normal that exists there.
