Two exercises for changing roles during the work production are presented in Deposit here. Reversal 1: Artist and viewer. It’s produced as a result of the transformation of the randomly viewers into a source and articulator of elements for an execution of artistic composition, and the artist into viewer, a subsequent visual organizer of found objects. Reversal 2: Gallery and public space. An inverted connection, based on the role of the elements that inhabit the artistic places The device presented, a deposit box, turns the public space into an exhibition one, while the elements found in the boxes, when placed inside the gallery space, transform it into a sort of outdoor space.

The project was created in three stages: the first one involved the installation of the device at five points near the Galería Metropolitana, in the Pedro Aguirre Cerda commune, including the Edgardo Enríquez Health Center, La Reina liquor store, Señal 3TV station of población La Victoria and its neighborhood association, and the Pedro Aguirre Cerda Municipality. The installation device arranged in the sites a box stating: “Deposite aquí” (deposit here). Through this object and text, the passers-by who walked around each device were openly invited to deposit different items as they wished during the one-month stay at the intervention spots. The second stage involved uninstalling the devices and collecting the material deposited at each spot. The third and final stage of the project was the visual execution, where the objects received in each box device were arranged within an installation as an inventory, with photographic records of the process. The elements rescued from the interventions were lost over the years, leaving the project documentation as an archive not only for the project, but also for the quickly changing social context that developed in the early 2000s.
