[no title] Possibly 1976 - 2007

Curator: There's a ghostly echo of truth in this untitled piece by León Ferrari, a collage of newspaper clippings mounted on what appears to be a thin support. It gives me a melancholic shiver, almost like glimpsing fragile memories. Editor: Indeed. This collage, likely from 1996 given the inscription, highlights the "sick society" and the death of Bishop Angelelli, referencing state violence and impunity in Argentina, a critical commentary on power structures. Curator: The way these stark headlines are arranged—it feels almost like a lament, a visual poem of loss and injustice. The yellowing paper adds this strange sense of urgency, as if the news is fading, being forgotten. Editor: Ferrari masterfully uses the media itself to critique its role in shaping narratives, inviting us to consider how these events are remembered—or conveniently erased—from public consciousness. Curator: It makes me think about how art can become a kind of protest, too. To think he was born in the same year as Borges, 1920. Editor: Absolutely, León Ferrari's work remains a vital reminder of the need for vigilance, accountability, and collective memory in the face of state-sponsored terror. Curator: There's so much hidden in plain sight here... It's a good work to bring the past to light. Editor: Yes, art as a tool of bearing witness, of demanding that stories are not silenced.
