Lordy Rodriguez uses grids to mimic the language of map-making. Charting and dividing land and other resources through a seemingly benign geometry, Rodriguez uses map–making techniques to recount personal, political, and environmental histories. In "Mexico City and Lake Texcoco" Rodriguez traces the erasure of the natural lake over hundreds of years. Once the capital of the Aztec empire, the lake basin is now nearly completely obliterated by Mexico City.
