Like the act of collecting, the act of recording, of filming in this piece of visual archeology creates an archive of small mundane objects. Elena Duque compiles here a variety of curiosities, ranging from postcards, drawings, photos, porcelain figurines and stamps, and even a few teeth. As we watch them go by one by one, we get the sense that despite their dubious material value, they make up part of an important collection, a popular Wunderkammer or a "cabinet of wonders" full of memories and unknown souvenirs for one's amusement and fantasy.
