Spain: Los restos (The Remains)

"Los restos" is conceived as a large-scale intervention that transforms the interior of the pavilion into a pseudo-museum born from accumulation and reiteration. The proposal originates from the practice Vilanova has developed for over two decades: the systematic collection of postcards salvaged from flea markets and second-hand shops. This personal archive, in constant expansion, challenges traditional modes of cultural legitimation. The postcards—vestiges of global tourism and individual experiences relegated to oblivion—are displayed in an endless wall composition without hierarchies or linear narratives, highlighting the obsessive gesture of gathering and preserving against the instability of today's digital memory.
