Unveiling the Layers of Place
Spain /1803
Between two streams of water lies a dryland agricultural plain, surrounded by population centers and marked by moments of transformation. In 1930, a masia was converted into a military barracks, and around it, structures associated with military activity emerged: soldiers’ houses, shooting ranges, ammunition depots… Today, only scattered fragments remain, vestiges of a seemingly ephemeral past whose traces still resonate.
Remnants of a house, a solitary staircase in the middle of the terrain, the paving stones of an old training ground, and most notably, the ammunition depots, stand as silent wit-nesses. These elements remind us that the past never truly vanishes; it intertwines with the memory of the landscape, even as boundaries blur, buildings crumble, and vegetation reclaims its domain.
