Everything we make to survive, including our bodies, comes under the label "low tech".

Bastard mortar is a traditional recipe that consists of mixing and reducing mortar with clay to improve its plasticity. In the world of ceramics, as in all things, there are purist beliefs regarding degrees of whiteness and a globalisation of accepted forms of construction. Within the context of “Construcción Bastarda”, we are following Mercè on a journey, an exploration of technological sovereignty.
