El Dorado is a seminal socioplastic sculpture created by Anto Lloveras in Madrid in 2013. It forms part of his broader Socioplastics practice and serves as a foundational node in the HIPERVÍNCULOS relational platform, which explores affective bonds, relational topology, and migratory gestures in unstable social and urban contexts. The work consists of a single, ultra-light golden emergency blanket (a standard 20-gram mylar survival sheet, the kind used in emergencies to retain body heat). This minimal, mass-produced object is deliberately chosen for its anonymity, disposability, and lack of inherent artistic value — turning it into a pure carrier of relational and affective weight rather than a precious or symbolic artifact.
