What Remains

A sociological investigation through architectural anomalies, into the relationship between human beings and the construction of their living spaces.
Every construction is born with a precise function and is lived consistently with it; within this relationship that justifies it, life unfolds: before and after, what remains is the soul of a place. The building, abandoned by human beings, loses its function but retains its memory and those who frequent it recreate a new history, a different perception of space.
What remains develops around a textile colony built in the early 1950s and destroyed by a flood in 1952. The textile factories that constituted it represented real social spaces for women’s life. This is strongly present in the rubble of What Remains.

Project realised in artistic residency at the Estruch Museum in Sabadell Spain
