2000 d. de J.C.
During five years of work, the artist traces a journey through twenty centuries of history through bland, inconsequential, but real events, through which we are reminded of the importance of small things. The 2,224 pages are divided into three volumes that include the years 1 to 1000, 1001 to 2000 and a small volume with the thematic, onomastic, toponymic indexes and the bibliography. In an attempt that he himself has branded as “dignifying history”, Valcárcel dedicates each of the pages of the book to a year of the series, and narrates some event of that year through which the nature of man is discussed, love, art, politics, society, always starting from a real event that happens every year, rescued in an investigation of libraries and archives, especially in the Center for Historical Studies of the CSIC. The artist rescues in each of the stories those unknown facts and characters that are placed in the background, turning the anonymous into a close one.
