Los animales perdidos es un audio tour, un recorrido sonoro que parte de la búsqueda de un auto que ha sido abandonado en algún lugar de la ciudad, un auto con calidad de objeto y a su vez contenedor de otros objetos, que configuran una identidad propia. El espacio deshabitado de alguien, pero no de las huellas que este deja a través de los elementos que alguna vez le fueron propios y que ahora abandonados a su suerte, cuentan su propia historia, fragmentada e incierta, a los que entran en ese mundo privado, que por unas horas deja entrever su intimidad y se abre dejando la posibilidad de ser reinterpretado por el que tenga deseos de espiar.
La posibilidad de apropiarse de un lugar que hasta el momento fue ajeno, la experiencia de permanecer y reconstruir abierta y arbitrariamente un mapa biográfico de lo que pudo haber sido el pasado de ese espacio habitado.

Los objetos presentan una experiencia vivida, pasada o presente de su poseedor y forman parte de su vida. Entrar en una casa en la que la decoración proviene de aventuras profesionales, mentales o afectivas de su ocupante es tan indiscreto como investigar su identidad. Basta recordar, conservando los matices según los lugares y las funciones, la timidez experimentada al entrar en el cuarto de un desconocido y los esfuerzos desplegados para lograr una mirada que no pormenorice nada, que no vea nada. Inmiscuirse entre el objeto biográfico y su poseedor es siempre, en potencia o en realidad, una operación de espía.


Lost Animals is an audio tour that begins with the search of a car abandoned somewhere in the city a car as an object in itself and, at the same time, containing some other objects that shape an identity. A space that lacks a subject, but not the traces he left throughout the elements that once belonged to him and now, completely left behind, tell their own fragmentated and uncertain story to those who enter this private world, which for some hours reveals its intimacy and opens up allowing the chance of being reinterpretated by those willing to spy. The chance of taking over a place that, up to that moment, was somebody elses, the experience of bluntly and arbitrarily rebuilding a biographic map, making up what this space could have been when it was inhabitated.

Objects display past or present experiences of their owner and take part of his life. Entering a house where the decoration comes from its owners professional, mental or emotional adventures is as indiscreet as looking into his identity. Suffice it to remember, how shy we feel when going into the room of someone we do not know and how hard it is to watch pretending we are not watching, holding on to every detail. To interfere between a biographical object and its owner is always, potentially or not, a spy operation.
