When the author arrives at these flats, their inhabitants have recently deceased, their family members have distributed part of the inheritance and it is at that point that they wish to sell whatever remains in the property. Other times, if there are family disagreements or it concerns wealthy families, the flats may remain closed during a long time, sometimes years, treasuring the enclosed memory; but they are not abandoned, only closed, latent, until the day arrives when the owners decide to sell it all.The photographs on display here show the whole process of emptying out flats and houses, principally located in the Eixample neighbourhood and old town of Barcelona, where the heirs have been progressively selling everything: first the contents and then the container.
