Coleccionar: el arte de dar sentido a lo inútil

Why do we collect things that serve no purpose? What's the point of filling a room with Funko Pops, bottle caps, or rocks? This video isn't meant to mock collecting, but to understand it: from its symbolic value and emotional roots to its connection to memory, status, and even neurology. Through personal stories, scientific studies, and philosophical reflections, we explore how a collection can be much more than a sum of objects: it can be a system of meaning, a way to resist, to remember, to exist.
