[no title] Possibly 1976 - 2007

Editor: This untitled collage by León Ferrari is composed of newspaper clippings. It feels like a raw, almost brutal snapshot of a particular moment. What do you see in this piece? Curator: The accumulation of printed news evokes a sense of collective trauma, a fragmented memory of a troubled time. Each clipping acts as a symbol, an encoded message about violence, loss, and the desperate search for missing persons. Editor: So, the collage is more than just a collection of news items; it's about what those items represent? Curator: Precisely. Ferrari’s work often uses these images to comment on the dark underbelly of power, using visual symbols to trigger a deeper understanding of historical events and their lasting psychological effects. Editor: That gives me a lot to consider about hidden meanings. Curator: Indeed, it is a potent reminder that images are not neutral; they carry emotional and cultural weight.
