[no title] Possibly 1976 - 2007

Curator: Here we have an untitled work by León Ferrari. It's a collage, approximately A3 in size, featuring newspaper clippings related to the murder of five churchmen in Argentina. Editor: It’s stark, a visual scream. The yellowed newsprint gives it an unsettling aged quality, like a forgotten wound. The bold headline just leaps out. Curator: Ferrari often used collage to critique political and religious institutions. This piece likely responds to the violence and repression of the era, using the media's own reporting as evidence. Editor: The grainy photo at the bottom is especially haunting. It's a sea of faces, all connected to this tragedy. It feels like a memorial, heavy with grief and unspoken anger. Curator: Exactly, and the juxtaposition of the official news report with these handwritten annotations adds another layer of complexity. We can see dates and initials. It makes it more personal. Editor: A grim reminder that even in the face of cruelty, art can serve as a powerful act of defiance. Curator: Indeed, a testament to the enduring power of memory and resistance.
