EL MARTILLO / THE HAMMER was an inflatable object created for the protests at the United Nation Climate Conference in Cancún. The hammer was a collective work that was fabricated in Berlin and sent to Mexico as a sign of solidarity. At the demonstrations surrounding the climate conference, Mexican police destroyed the artwork, which was documented and resulted in further global solidarity with the protesters. >>
