The politics of images
This workshop continues and expands the discussion on the production of images that are politically significant and that Colectivo Situaciones has maintained, together with Alice Creischer and Andreas Siekmann, within the context of the Ex-Argentina project.
"Strange winds blow. But not just the air, the climate has become strange. The echoes of December were too much…too intense, too destructive, too much street, too many dismissed, too much contemporaneousness…time has been leveled. The current serenity—woven of fierce mirages and indifference—hides that which we have all seen: we have returned weaker from that beyond. We do not have words to describe what we have seen. Thus the current tranquility is more or less fragile. No so much because injustice threatens—as something exterior that could invade us—but because it now lives in us (now we know that we are also made up of its madness)."
Extract from a correspondence between the Colectivo Situaciones and Alice Creischer and Andreas Siekmann within the framework of Ex Argentina.
