Spanish term or phrase: HUECO EN PARED
Se trata de un folleto de un museo, que estoy traduciendo hacía el inglés (UK)

La frase entera sería "TEXTOS DE HUECO EN PARED al fondo de la sala"

El enunciado aparece al principio de un apartado en el que se ilustran varias obras, e indica que el texto en lengua original está en el "hueco en pared"

Muchas gracias a todos los que contesten.

wall recess
Explanation:
I think "recess" is probably the best generic term for any kind of concavity in a wall; in this case it is probably quite shallow.

agree  philgoddard: Although if this translation is for a museum in a Spanish-speaking country, I would leave the whole sentence untranslated.
