Summary

In Riobamba, a largely indigenous city in the central Ecuadorian mountains, signs of an almost forgotten historical memory remain. The city's museum and cultural center is, at the same time, full of objects and empty of people. A work of urban art is proposed to inhabit one of the exterior walls of the museum in an iconic building for the city and, from its genesis, its relevance, its condition as an object and the possibility (or not) of being imbued with consciousness is questioned.
