The Lost Museum

Marina Sáez

"In The Lost Museum we find an exhibit of all kinds of losses, from daily objects to emotions and loved ones, that will make us smile and stir us."

A girl and her mother enter the lost museum, a building where everything we lose ends up. In the beginning, the rooms ironically show day-to-day missing objects. But, soon enough, there are rooms with contents that are of another kind, such as the Lost Patience, or the Tunnel of Lost Time. Marina Sáez addresses all sorts of losses, also those that unsettle us, such as the portraits of Lost Loved Ones. And she does so seemingly carefree, but with great subtlety and a profound emotional weight.
