Real hasta la muerte is a site-specific installation that consists of a series of sculptures and pieces located in the the former British embassy in Madrid, the well-known brutalist jewel by architect Luis Blanco-Soler. Its rounded base functioned as a way to portray a never-ending process or a snake that eats its own tail. The works were scattered and hidden in the space, acting as clues of a never-ending treasure hunt. The sculptural pieces together with the almost performative action of the viewer questioned the boundaries of interior and exterior of the body and the frustrations around the understanding of this matter/affect.
