Kolkata (India), Xalapa (Mexico), and Lima (Peru), like any other city in the world, are defined by processes of extractivism and exploitation of the resources of the ecosystems that surround them.

Their processes of urban expansion have altered humanity's relationship with nature, promoting certain types of material relationships and making others invisible or impossible.

Out of Site/Sight is a book that records the action-research of three teams interested in exploring these urban processes of invasion and displacement through the lens of three forgotten agents that collaborated, and continue to do so, in the development of urban settlements in these cities: cow dung, quelites, and mats.

Guided by these three agents, each team uncovers the diverse tactics of resistance, micro-infiltration, and restoration that, without us realizing it, shape the cities we inhabit.
