"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. "

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
