- description: On June 22, 1941, German troops invaded the Soviet Union. Under the threat of bombings, workers at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg decided to evacuate the entire collection by train to other cities. Despite having no artworks left to display, the museum staff continued offering guided visits. Educators led visitors through rooms filled only with empty frames and pedestals without sculptures.
Una visita al todo y a la nada (A visit to everything and nothing) is a performative tour led by an educator and performer, where a museum’s traces, details, and museological errors become visible. Through mediation, these absences and remnants are not seen as voids but as artistic gestures—fragments of meaning waiting to be revealed.
