Ollin is a series of three mapping methods where specific areas of Mexico City were surveyed.

I.a 105 x 208 cm.

I. The first method routes a walk through the streets of a single neighbourhood. The composition records textures of the concrete floor and graphic resources seen throughout the route.

1) I.b 105 x 208 cm.
2) sample display I.b

II. The second, based on an abstraction of the pre-hispanic figure of movement (Ollin), is a relief sample taken in the Zocalo (central plaza) of Mexico City: a pivoting point for the historical development of the city. It is paired with an image that serves as its reflection (II.b). The second sample is taken from the soil of Chapultepec park. Both images intervene an INEGI map (1998).

II.a 90x120 cm.
II.b 90x120 cm.

III. The third method marks 5 points within the entirety of the city through concrete samples. It still considers the Ollin abstraction as a guiding skeleton. The 5 points correspond to the following coordinates:

a) 19.437294, -99.080051
b) 19.371452359026502, -99.15351217333117
c) 19.319565703930138, -99.21749081566043
d) 19.286920894215598, -99.12176258867524
f) 19.427627, -99.216087

III.a 90x120 cm.
