Projects

Case 433

The first strategy uses an electric cloud to withdraw the treasure from the Museum.

The second strategy makes the whole building of the Museum of America disappear (erasing the religious symbol of power that represents its form), using a mixture of 19th century techniq ues and digital experiments.

The third strategy seeks to change the course of the Manzanares River, to create a new river that crosses the city to reach the Museum of America, remembering the trips by river of the natives and the Spanish explorers through the lands of America.

And every strategy appeals to contemporary magic to try to understand the ancient beliefs.
