Construction and fall of bodies:

In that action the members of XEPA work for something like two hours building walls of bricks that tumble when arrive in their balance limit. To each fall it is begun the construction of a new wall that also aims the fall. At the end of three thousand bricks, it remains the trace of the action - an action that, in the act of building, ends building a ruin.

Period: September 13 or 14, 10-13h or 16-19h

Place: to be defined
