In opposition to the objects collected from the rubble of Providência, the archaeological finds that a century ago had been thrown there as leftovers now performed singularity, flaunting the strength of those who, in a gesture of insubmission to gravity and oblivion, had returned to the surface.
Today, the ruins of houses and collective equipments that were destroyed became part of the museum's collection and of what the residents call a memory route, along which several signs were installed to evoke spaces that existed in Vila Autódromo before the evictions.
What happens then in the future if an artist, collector or gallery wishes to re-exhibit an artwork where the original equipment has not been collected or the equipment required is entirely obsolete and unavailable?
