This article is an attempt to develop a post-humanist model of collecting that will be relevant to the emerging project of archiving the Anthropocene. To reflect on the potential of weak collections in this respect, a case study of Pablo Neruda’s collection of seashells is used. Started in 1939, it continued growing for the next 15 years. Neruda’s collection was unique. Rather than follow strict rules it expanded spontaneously and without a plan. It was never properly stored or studied; however, (or perhaps because of that) it was a perfect example of a practice of collecting that was neither focused on fetishising the objects nor on capitalising on them. The collection has a strong human subject – descending, making room for other weak and minor subjects to be heard and appreciated. Neruda’s collection, or as we may call it, an open assembly of eco-facts invites non-human subjects – such as seashells – to speak up about our common history and share their own narratives. Perhaps a weak collection is the way in which our epoch, the Anthropocene, can and should be commemorated.

Chile is considered an important centre of Spanish-American avant-garde thanks to the figure of Vicente Huidobro and also that of Pablo Neruda. While the importance of these two eminent poets is beyond doubt, the paper points out that Chilean avant-garde was a rich and multifaceted movement with many different voices.
