Summary:

The most recent work of Miguel Castro Leñero, one of the most important plastic artists in Mexico. The book also recovers many of the creative and productive processes and describes his walking in the streets of the Escandón neighborhood (Mexico city) between the artist's house and workshop: pictograms, urban scenes which he transforms in his studio into works of art. To do this, the book intersperses the street snapshots with the works. Images are also inserted on rice paper that help to understand the process that Castro Leñero carries out with acetates to "assemble" his works. The book, mainly visual, is completed by texts by specialists Juan Iván González de León and Jaime Moreno Villarreal, as well as an interview by Leonel Sagahón in which he speaks, for the first time, of his artistic motivations and his way of working.
