The project “Fundidora S. A.” re ects on the ethics and aesthetics of Latin American capitalism in modern times, focusing on: the in uence of politicians supporting or rendering a company invisible, the con icts of interest that occur within power relations, the acts of demagogy of the governmental, entrepreneurial and union leaders, the re-arrangement of authority gures, the indulgence among those subjects that had reached higher positions, the relationship between industry and banks, the o cial events to commemorate achievements, the control mecha- nisms and the acts of ascent and descent in the socio-economical ladder.
Monterrey ́s identity is undeniably linked to its industrial past. The photographic and documental archive of Fundi- dora, which today is a highly visited green and cultural area called Parque Fundidora, is the media we employed to learn about such past and later to interpret its multiple meanings.
