                                                    The project entailed piling up the rubble from a house on the place where the house itself once stood. As a result, after the house had been demolished, the site was occupied by a mountain made from the rubble: the same materials in the same amounts. The scene of a pile of bricks, in the midst of an average site, can stay easily unnoticed or neglected. But by quantifying, measuring and weighing, Almarcegui leads us to a reflective domain, where a pile of debris has the same intrinsic value as the house that it used to be.
