The video series Folklore ironically narrates the core events in the construction of official accounts of history in Spain and intersperses them with others which, seemingly anecdotal, have held sway in shaping the country’s collective memory. In the second version displayed here, Folklore #2, Patricia Esquivias puts forward and analyses in detail some of the commonalities between King Philip II and the singer Julio Iglesias.
