In the second basement of the herbarium of the Botanical Garden of Madrid is located the storage S59, a warehouse from the historical herbarium that gathers botanical material mostly coming from the eighteenth and nineteenth century mainly from the former colonies, that for several causes cannot be cataloged, assembled as discards, this vegetal matter constitutes a blind spot within the official archive.
Constructed by cataloging the dust and smaller particles from the bottom of the drawers labeled “Unnamed Fruits” at the “S59” warehouse. These debris are photographed using the scientific system based on a grid representation in order to obtain a comparative scale. This series consists of two prints of 71 x 90 cm and four prints of 42 x 30 cm printed on color photographic paper.
