IT STILL FEELS LIKE SUMMER.
Some shirts stop being sportswear.
They become evidence.
Evidence of a summer that felt endless.
A television that stayed on all day.
A tournament that turned ordinary afternoons into memories people would carry for the rest of their lives.
Archive No. 010C preserves one of those objects.
Inspired by the iconic Argentina shirt of México 1986, this piece is presented not as merchandise, but as a museum-preserved artifact — documented, catalogued and protected like a cultural record.
The artwork follows the visual language of archival conservation files, combining acquisition labels, preservation notes, catalog references and handwritten observations collected over decades.
At the center sits the famous number ten.
Not as a symbol of a player.
As a symbol of ownership.
Of years.
Of memories.
Of everything a shirt can absorb after a lifetime of being worn.
ARCHIVE NOTES
México ’86.
I wore it all winter.
The numbers started peeling in July.
It still hangs in my mother’s house.
Some things never get thrown away.
