Fernando Ocaña
Fernando is an artist and automotive designer. Through his studies of automobility as a psychological state, he takes an anthropological perspective on the concept of speed and the relationships it has created between time, space and the human understanding of them. By connecting transportation artefacts with notions of identity and habitat, his artistic practice examines the unconscious rhythms involved in the act of movement and the possible meanings of humanity’s seemingly perpetual state of travel.
Together with the Mexico City government, Fernando developed an ultralight electric taxi that was launched for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
La Casa de Usted y Otros Viajes
La Casa de Usted y Otros Viajes is a scathing journey through the extravaganzas of Mexico and Mexico City. This collection of articles contains all facets of life in an intelligent, original and fun way.
A city is an ever changing being, a collective force of lifestyles that both inspires and betrays its guests. Ultimately, it is the metropolitan set of rules and conditions that determines the way a citizen will experience his or her life. La Casa de Usted y Otros Viajes by Jorge Ibargüengoitia offers a historic range of micro-scale observations on the textures, joys and frustrations Mexico City imposes on us who live in it. In turn, Alejandro Veneno´s crafty musical selection captures a large-scale, atmospheric feeling that portrays what it means to live and move across the Mexican capital, a worthy example of mankind’s ability to conquer territory and turn it into a home.
