Abstract

This case study focuses on the archive that Lucía Álvarez (1936‑2018) built during the last 24 years of her life. The images gathered in 14 volumes were selected from particular points of view that the author had about forms of daily activity that could be archived. Images of birds that appeared daily in the newspaper, signatures of doctors who did their check-ups or advertising calendars that are distributed at the beginning of the year, configure the heritage built in accordance with individual motivations that changed course according to the circumstances. A complex system of relationships and meanings that open questions about how dominant passions enrich everyday life, activate skills, develop aesthetic skills and expand the types of perception and affections is evidenced .
