“These photos are made by Muntadas during his walks in Alameda Central Park. They detail the varied ways in which the citizens of the Mexican capital make themselves at home on the green, wrought-iron benches of this public space: reading, relaxing, chatting, playing musical instruments, dozing, flirting, people-watching, and so on. For Muntadas, the key point is the shared assumption that the park is a public realm open to all members of the community” [pg. 205, in MUNTADAS ESPACIOS, LUGARES Y SITUACIONES].
