Nuestro equipo vencera!

In 2003, Estadio Insular, the stadium of Union Deportiva de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, was used for the last time, after 54 years of activity. Ever since, Estadio Insular had been repeatedly vandalized. Everything that used to be furniture, windows, tribunes, panels, had been destroyed. Most of the chairs had been removed. "Nuestro equipo vencera!" is about writing the local teams hymn on the chairs that are still in the tribune. One letter on each chair, like silent supporters, cheering it`s team on the long forgotten stadium.
What is really amazing is the fact that the text of the hymn, written one letter on each chair, fits exactly with the number of chairs left standing in the tribune...
