metropoli building. Gran Vía 1, Madrid
video: Enrique Fernández Luaces
An action in the building at Gran Via 1, inspired by the idea of Marinetti’s Futurist Manifesto which said “Let us burn the libraries (…) because the ashes will be the fertilizer for the new seeds”, which simulates the burning of the building in an increasing way, from bottom to top, in a loop with an interval of 7:30 minutes, involving the spectator and making him witness to the first virtual burning of a building in the heart of the city.
