El Dorado is a socioplastic sculpture of circulation, composed of a single gold emergency blanket passed between artists as a relational relic, an affective infrastructure of temporary possession and symbolic care; created in Madrid in 2013 and evolving across exhibitions, interventions, and informal rituals, the object resists static display, offering instead a loop of collective intimacy, where value emerges from use rather than accumulation; each recipient inscribes their gesture into the blanket—not through writing, but through holding, folding, and handing over—transforming gold from an emblem of extraction into a medium of shared attention; part of the HIPERVÍNCULOS network, the work dissolves the logic of singular authorship by functioning as a living hyperlink between practitioners, geographies, and moods; it is both soft and sacred, disposable and priceless, always on the verge of vanishing into the next context; El Dorado doesn’t mark the end of a quest, but the continuity of care across hands, borders, and scenes.
