Chili Moon Town is a
utopian floating city
of dreams that knows
no boundaries. It was
born as a free city
without frontiers.
Its citizens do not
migrate; the city itself
migrates, carrying the
dreams of its people.

Chili Moon Town was conceived as a
glittering archetype of the urban environment;
a metropolis with futuristic hand-made
skyscrapers that transcends stressful traffic,
ethnic differences, beliefs, and ideologies. It is
a place where signs advertise life experiences
through modernist and contemporary quotes
and icons: a recovery of historical memory
written in neon.
“The floating town is the incarnation of a dream. Anyone
who is capable of dreaming has access to Chili Moon
Town: it is the only place on earth where, if you want to live
there, you have to believe.”
It has a familiar skyline, yet it is a fairytale city that holds
possibilities instead of rules. It is a magical hideout for a
perception-shifting collective experience.
Following its appearance in Mexico City as a special
project of México Arte Contemporáneo, Chili Moon Town
will undertake a journey to the United States of America,
aiming straight for New York City; just as millions have
throughout history, risking everything to follow their dreams.
