Sumario:This article analyzes the archive as a practical knowledge operation whose purpose is to dislodge the intellectual machinery that has accompanied the expansionist policies of the West. From there, and taking as a case study the project For rent. The actor's living archive, the operation and the place of the performative archive within the map drawn by archival art from the beginning of the 20th century are studied, taking as models the Atlas Mnemosyne, by Aby Warburg, and the Book of Passages, by Walter Benjamin.
