Relicarios, No. 3

Genre: Visual Artwork; Archive; Exhibition; Places of Memory; Photograph
Description: The newest creation from Diettes, Relicarios explores sculpture. A set of cubes that could also be called packaging or capsules, are arranged on the floor as though they were graves, giving the disappeared "a dignified resting place." Contained inside the cube are belongings of the disappeared. They are the garments and objects that were in contact with the bodies of the missing, infused with the aura and the smells that carry a sensitive memory.
