In the piece Scalators in Loop, the artist documents the museum's escalators in the form of an assembly line. The objects transported on it are, in this case, the visitors. An image that makes us think about the idea of the museum as an institution for the construction of the individual and for the production of intangible values, such as social relations, lifestyles or certain types of ideologies.

Excerpt from the text written by curator and researcher Cristina Garrido and Mireia C. Saladrigues.

En la pieza Scalators in Loop, la artista documenta las escaleras mecánicas del museoa modo de cinta de montaje. Los objetos transportados en ella son, en este caso, los visitantes. Una imagen que nos hace pensar en la idea de museocomo institución para la construcción del individuo y para la producción de valores inmateriales, como las relaciones sociales, los estilos de vida o cierto tipo de ideologías.
