The Day the World Broke
El día que se rompió el mundo
November 8, 1519. Two columns walk toward each other on the same causeway.
The entry into Tenochtitlan and the fall, cut between the Spanish side and the Mexica side — each seeing what the other cannot. A soldier with one book in his head. A priest who read the omens. Built from Bernal Díaz, Cortés's letters, and Book 12 of the Florentine Codex.
