This publication of the Spanish artist David Bestu\u00e9 explores the work of the Spanish engineer exiled in Mexico, F\u00e9lix Candela, by using poem-diagrams to propose an analogy between the language of engineering and poetry and turning to physical terms to describe emotions. This project is a result of the artist\u2019s residency in Mexico in 2013 with de_sitio. With various publications, expositions and investigative works already done around F\u00e9lix Candela, and this year witnessing particularly prolific revisions of his work in Mexico, this publications offers a new point of view to understand Candela\u2019s legacy, inviting us to embark on new paths for exploring the structural relationship between static architectural forms and bodies in movement. Bestu\u00e9 invites 8 people: a dancer, an opera singer, an acrobat, a bodybuilder, a fakir, a yogi, a mime and a poet to carry out a series of actions that the artist then converts into structural poems that, in his own words, can to be understood as \u201c(…) some words written on the emptiness of flesh\u201d.<\/p>\n
