Comodoro Rivadavia

by Carlos Morales '03 and Jillian Tabuchi '03

The objective of the Patagonia Mosaic was to capture the living memory of not only the people but also the landmarks themselves. This presentation represents the public memory of Comodoro Rivadavia as it was in 2003. The collection of photographs on life in Comodoro Rivadavia are historical recollections of how the city came to be and the monuments of 2003 represent how the city chooses to represent itself now, not only to its own people, but also to the outside world.

The real emphasis of this project is the examination of the use of space and public memory. In Comodoro Rivadavia the community has been influenced by such factors as ethnicity, politics, family life, and civic duty. The diverse nature of the community is expressed through the range of monuments throughout the city. The analysis of public spaces represent the development of communities in their experiences that reflect those influential factors. The commemoration of the public spaces in Comodoro Rivadavia reflect the unification of the people into one community.
