On ‘Notes From the Underdog’

Abstract

This article talks about the social impact of economic collapse on marginal territories and on the ingenuity of these new settlers, in the context of the visual essay Notes from the Underdog, by Alexandre Delmar. Forced to find new alternatives, these settlers are not only inventing new methods of constructing terraces, fashioning aqueducts from plastic, making their own tools, and defining their own plots, but are also inventing new methods of constructing terraces, of fashioning aqueducts from plastic, of making their own tools, and of defining their own plots, thus changing the surrounding environment and landscape of these marginal areas.
