OFICINA DE PATRIMONIO INTANGIBLE Performance
2007
“The Office of Intangible Heritage” collected, preserved, and exhibited the daily experiences that took place within the Banco de la República museums between 2006 and 2007. Various guided tours were carried out in these museums across Colombia to reveal the space that exists between the artworks and the collections—that is, the life within these places.
Its work focused on that intermediate space between the artworks and everyday life, where the presence of insects, animals, guides, visitors, and staff disrupts the stillness with movement.
The office gathered information through photographic documents, texts, and videos, which were then carefully organized and classified to achieve a precise understanding of each event.
The proposal envisions a possible network that lives as a symbiont within the museum and suggests a living archive that disperses rather than accumulates, reflecting the dynamic and ever-changing nature of Intangible Heritage.
