For the Biennale of Photography of Buenos Aires, we were commissioned to design a display system for A3 landscape-format photographs that could be assembled, dismantled, and transported with ease.
The project was developed under a simple set of constraints: using only 6 × 6 cm wooden cleats cut to a length of 120 cm. Within a week, we explored and tested various assembly methods before producing hundreds of units for an exhibition at the school in Rosario, Argentina. This first installation showcased the work of the Red Suramérica workshop and served as a full-scale prototype for the structure later used at the Biennale.
Conceived as a collaborative project spanning the South American continent, the structure emerged through a process of collective exchange, experimentation, and testing. Starting from simple components, the design evolved through discussion and practical trials, resulting in a versatile system chosen collectively by the participants, with an emphasis on durability and future reuse.
A second week was dedicated to the collective construction of the structures, culminating in their deployment for the final exhibition at the Biennale of Photography of Buenos Aires.
