'Donde dormir' by Eugenio Ampudia in El Escorial
The series of works ‘Dónde dormir’, developed beginning in 2008, is built around a minimal gesture. Behind the apparent banality of this everyday gesture lies a political stance and an act of resistance against certain social fictions or conventions. This work invites us to rethink our way of living through an approach that, in its simplicity and repetition (since this piece is part of a larger series), draws our attention back to the way the individual relates to public space. In essence, it puts the memory through which we construct social space under scrutiny.
