More than twenty-five years after it was unveiled, Eduardo Chillida’s Monument to Tolerance has neither been built nor abandoned – it is, rather, suspended. The project consists in digging a vast cubic cave inside the mountain of Tindaya (Fuerteventura, Canary Islands). From the outset, it faced the opposition of environmental activists, who argued that it was incompatible with the mountain’s status as a protected site. Drawing from anthropological approaches to infrastructure and art, this article unpacks the Monument’s actual existence as an unrealized project, partly actualized through anticipatory practices such as exhibitions or economic aspirations. The article contributes to the theorization of suspension by combining a focus on the temporal multiplicity of anticipation with an attention to the materiality of unbuilt entities.

纪念性悬挂

在揭幕 25 多年后，爱德华多·奇利达 (Eduardo Chillida) 的宽容纪念碑既没有建造也没有废弃——而是被暂停了。该项目包括在廷达亚（富埃特文图拉岛，加那利群岛）山内挖掘一个巨大的立方洞穴。从一开始，它就面临着环保活动家的反对，他们认为这不符合该山作为保护区的地位。本文从人类学对基础设施和艺术的研究方法出发，将纪念碑的实际存在解开为一个未实现的项目，部分通过展览或经济愿望等预期实践实现。这篇文章通过将关注时间的多重性与关注未构建实体的重要性相结合，为悬浮的理论化做出了贡献。
