Diez por diez casillas: el Santiago de La Gran Capital y la imaginación visual de la ciudad especulativa.

Abstract

A view of Santiago divided into 10 x 10 squares is offered in La Gran Capital, the local version of the famous game Monopoly. Faced with this abstraction, which reduces urban complexity transforming the city into entertainment, the question that should be asked is not only what is left out of that game, but also what those 10 x 10 squares hide: namely, the reduction of the logics of liberal economy to a simple game where, curiously, every player starts from the same conditions.
