Abstract
This essay analyzes the artistic, ecological and political drifts
of the Lake Texcoco animist museum project. This is a mutant, alternative and
de-territorialized museum that mobilizes reflections, affections, knowledge and
political densities about the lives and deaths of Lake Texcoco, central basin
of the Valley of Mexico. By reviewing and proposing an animistic museology,
objects, stories and archives that organize human and more than human lives
were collected in the lake basin. Each of the exhibition processes, called
apparitions, organizes experimental communities around the collection to
trigger situated discussions about other lakes and bodies of water.
