Archaeological excavation

Revisiting the piece "An incoherent body" by Xesca Salvà, from the remains generated by the figures destroyed during these first weeks of the exhibition The tradition that runs through us. What were the bodies of the past like? What can grow in ruins? We will trace the traces of a present-past with archaeological eyes in order to invent new futures.

An active proposal so that the figures that have occupied the showcases of our grandmothers and mothers leave room for new constructions of future bodies. What is our historical catalogue of bodies on the family shelves? Who are these people? These are questions that hover over the whole piece, both in the first phase of cataloguing and destruction and in a final revisiting of the fragments as archaeological remains, traces of a present-future.

Activation guided by Xesca Salvà
