demo station: FotoRaccordi – “In the Spiral of Time / Memories in Circulation. Milan’s Participatory Popular Archive”

Workshop

FotoRaccordi presents “In the Spiral of Time / Memories in Circulation. Milan’s Participatory Popular Archive”.

Within the spiral conceived by Rirkrit Tiravanija untitled 2026 (demo station n° 9), FotoRaccordi presents a participatory intervention that moves through collective memory. The structure becomes a metaphor for time: a path in which each step transforms the one before it. Through an open call, citizens contribute photographs of “old Milan,” creating a popular archive of scans in continuous expansion, where memory is built as a shared and dynamic practice.

The event takes place on Rirkrit Tiravanija’s installation untitled 2026 (demo station no. 9). The stage-like structure invites people to “demonstrate” something. The combination of the words demo and station in the work’s title refers respectively to the abbreviation of demonstration—understood both as a protest and as a presentation of someone’s talent or hobby —and to station, that is, an accessible place where such “demonstrations” can occur. For the duration of the exhibition, the installation provides a space for daily public activations.
