In 2001, Eduardo Molinari founded the Archivo Caminante (Walking Archive) in Buenos Aires. It comprises walking as an aesthetic practice, research using artistic methodologies (for example, photography, drawing and collage) and interdisciplinary actions against the mummification of social and cultural memory. Materially speaking, the Archivo Caminante is comprised of around fifty boxes, which contain three kinds of documents: a) black-and-white photographs from his visits to the National General Archive (AGN), the main public archive in Buenos Aires, b) photographs taken while the artist walks in urban and natural landscapes, and c) 'trash' or 'garbage' documentation of graphic scraps of mass culture, including magazines, books, newspapers, posters, flyers, postcards, maps, videos and recordings the artist found in the streets or received as gifts. All these visual materials compose the documents of the Archivo Caminante: manual collages, drawings, photographs and photomontages "that occupy spaces in different ways: as installations; alongside ordinary furniture; at specific sites and public spaces; as graphic materials, films and publications.".
