Abstract

Blind Landscape is the name of a artistic exhibition, that was the result of a colaborative residence, developed in Cahcha Santiago, in this experience was looking the reinterpretation for the old cartography of the water courses located it in the historic part of the city; using as method, a serie of walkig tours, for to go at the finding of the vestiges associated to the captation, distribution and storage of a lot of aquifers, wich in a past gave water to the buildings of the city, and which today lie in abandonment, concealed and hidden under cement and the modern constructions. As result, this reserch revealed the existence of aquifers ruins in a impressive condition, some of them still preserve plentiful groundwater. These ruins contain the potential of documenting the national heritage of water and this is to give visibility and return to rebuild it, generating a critical reflection on the history, transformations and the evolution of the waters in the región.
