Shows "Parties to History" - Museum of Art and The Memory of Religious Bodies La Plata

"The footprints we leave on the walls
or objects are retrieved
for whom both the city with his touch.
The traces of history and emotion [...]

spell return to lower and to the most unexpected of flukes.
That's when the city's visual shrapnel
leap from the memory of the eye, not as a matter of nostalgia,
but making sizzling sleepy areas of the soul. "
Christian Ferrer, 1996.

SIGNS OF TERROR

Andrea Trotta

During the last military dictatorship language infiltrated everyday life as a latent threat but explicit, to the point that could be confused with the monotony of being, seeing and hearing the same thing: a corpse found himself next to the obelisk ", shot, The Nation published the same year when the coup occurred.
The mechanism of state terrorism was to say without knowing. Or, if necessary or, to know without saying. This peculiarity was first played by the media without restraint and with the thoroughness mathematical calculation. Specific data about data, describes a reality leading to a truth that shifts the direction of gaze. It is a lie: the truth requiring subjects to do, see, hear and say only what is permitted as long as can be tolerated. Effective stroke that was built on military language caused an inalienable link between reality and fiction.
Among the information that was displayed in all the newspapers of-factly about the appearance of the bodies of the year 76 and disappearances of people seemed to have no overlap. Nor was there any further reading that would unite the faces of the disappeared who Página/12 began publishing, and he was born in 87, with the corpses "unidentifiable" than a decade ago crammed the Argentine newspapers.
That was the sinister game of soldiers, the newspapers announced the discovery of bodies, the radio transmission to announce cut in an "encounter" had been killed a "terrorist", or some, scores, no matter how many, but those who "knew" is eased.
Instead of beagles, the DGI threatened violators with a tank, the bus stops bore the ominous phrase "Detention Area" instead of the old white post. Throughout Argentina had become, in many obvious signs, in a quiet and effective threat. Argentina was completely militarized. It was the "metaphor of the field concentration camp."
León Ferrari, connecting all those small notes that newspapers published and carelessly scattered, rescued the reality that way media blew. This work took the form of work and entitled "We do not know."
Today, with my little work, I try to assemble the notes of bodies found and these nameless faces, forever young, that challenge us every morning when I open the newspaper. Message

León Ferrari for this sample sent on September 17, 2006:

Dear Andrea.

It seems very good and appropriate to your project. These reminders appear in page (an extraordinary initiative of the newspaper that no thank you) but someone to be responsible to analyze, comment. (...)

A big hug lion

Religious Eastersayings

Religious Bodies is part of an investigation and a concern by atomization of man, his separation from nature and its dismemberment ... and an attempt to return it.

despise the shame charity holds Atahualpa Yupanqui




about four years ago with a group of employees of the Editorial Colihue, with good intentions, we begin to participate in a draft draft draft draft in a soup kitchen in the neighborhood of La Boca, "buds."
There was, as you noticed, a "project" was clear and that is why I decided to leave because they felt that our work was only a palliative. And, worse, by not having a strong goal to transform at least part of the reality or provide, perhaps, ways they can transform themselves something or "mixed", especially if the parents orientábamos, "what we were doing was becoming the crystallization of an ominous reality, these small needed primarily an "excuse" to live without being bought for pennies.
My task, in principle, was to give an art workshop for young ones, but first he must put them in a row and my roll of paper towels, which I took off for the "mission" - I was cleaning one by one , nose.
Sometimes, the kids, naturally, we came to tell who had been evicted tenement shacks of sheet metal, only supported by some pins where they lived three families or more, due to a fire caused by a candle.
For lack, not of money but the most basic needs, people in this community do not pay for electricity service and cutting off the supply company. Nor can "hang" as the entire neighborhood lives in the same precarious.
What raised the kids, probably held in replicas of their parents, there was the tragedy of overcrowding or lack of basic services, but in the shed where the state had temporarily located there were not enough mattresses. The fire disaster, which obviously I did not lose too much, hunger, lack of work was not the problem, but the safe patch that appeased the complaints and reproaches.
Once one of the kids came to me and shouted: "Bryan * is fucked." I was weird because that baby, barely two years old, I knew going to the bathroom. I went and saw him perky on the edge of the toilet trying to reach the chain to pull it, had the pants to the ankles and from the tail to the pants, rolled down there, ran a strip yellow liquid, a yellow almost fluorescent. Bryan was not "fucked." This liquid was dripping coming from your stomach in which there was nothing solid.
Today, the tenement where he lived Bryan was shot down (he was in danger of collapse). Now instead made a beautiful and colorful space to complete the new circuit that is unfolding in La Boca. The Community Dining buds-Garibaldi 1856 - is being refurbished by NIKE, one of many multinational companies that have employees in black working in subhuman conditions. But buds will have mottled walls, vibrant colors, kids with a nose full of snot-until they get away from the area completely, so that the tourists feel comfortable, "safe" and achieve the best pictures in its long-awaited and happy ride.
