Fragmentos
Fragmentos, Espacio de Arte y Memoria (2018) (Spanish for "Fragments, a Space for Art and Memory") is a site-specific art installation, art gallery, and memorial created by Colombian artist Doris Salcedo and architect Carlos Granada. The main focus of the installation is the 1,288 floor tiles that were made by melting down the firearms that were turned in by the now-defunct FARC guerrilla group after the signing of the Colombian peace agreement in 2016.
The art installation has been described by Salcedo as a "countermonument" and a space to reflect on the Colombian conflict. Salcedo has described that the installation as a countermonument as it does not pay tribute to any of the involved parties, does not intent to express beauty nor build a triumphalist narrative.
