The Mexican city of CancĂșn, founded in 1970, offers a landscape infused with a spirit of anachronism and ruin. While hedonistic young American tourists invoke a contemporary discourse of decadence and decay, the glass-and-steel hotels built upon the physical ruins of the mighty Mayan Empire articulate a historicised vision.
