[no title] Possibly 1976 - 2007

Curator: This intriguing piece by León Ferrari, held here at the Tate, presents a stark collection of newspaper clippings adhered to a simple support. It's quite small, only about the size of a standard piece of paper. Editor: My first thought? It’s unsettling. Like finding a forgotten file, a record of something deeply disturbing, yet rendered somehow…clinical. All that text, hinting at loss. Curator: Ferrari was known for his politically charged works. These clippings document the disappearances under the Argentine military dictatorship. Editor: So, each of these fragments is a story, or rather, part of a silenced story. Arranged like this, they become a field of absences. Haunting. Curator: Exactly. The act of compiling these reports transforms them from news items into a powerful indictment of state-sponsored violence. Editor: It makes you think about what wasn't reported, what was deliberately left out of the official narrative. The unseen… Curator: A painful reminder of art's capacity to bear witness. Editor: Art as a scream against forgetting. Sobering.
