HOLDING SPACE

 An iron cross stands at the top of Monte Irago, near the start of the final segment of the Camino de Santiago. Its history is contested. 

Today, the Cruz de Ferro marks a heap of stones and mementoes carried by pilgrims along the Way, and ceremonially deposited at the top of the incline, in a symbolic ritual of "letting go."  What happens to a landscape when it bears the burdens of thousands of people? How does it evolve and change? How is it marked and cared for? What stories does it tell, and how does it speak?

This is the story of the Cruz de Ferro. A site with a marked history and an unknown future.
