Revolución
Leandro Ipiña toma distancia de los puntos de vista que se abordaron anteriormente en este nuevo film sobre San Martin. Narrada por un anciano que en su juventud fue amanuense de San Martín y en el 1880 del relato malvive en una pensión, la película entrelaza el interés intimista de su narración con un despliegue visual de dimensiones avasallantes para cubrir ese primer cruce de Los Andes en el que San Martin se planteó la liberación de toda Sudamérica de los virreynatos.

 

Revolution

The story starts in 1880, near the date when the remains of the deceased José de San Martín were moved to Buenos Aires. A veteran of the Army of the Andes gets an interview for the event, and the narration continues mostly through a flashback. The telling of the events does not follow the complete biography of San Martín, focusing instead in the Crossing of the Andes and the later Battle of Chacabuco.

About the exhibition

Made in China

Through three different artistic disciplines, such as fiber art, sculpture and painting, Nela Garzón questions the mercantile and disposable paradigm of objects in conflict with cultural identities.

“The body of work produced for this project inquires about the wide effects of consumerism and mass production and comments on the loss of cultural identity in the hands of globalization and industrialization. This global problem supported by us (consumers), besides devastating the environment, affects everyone but mostly minorities who have been maintaining the cultural heritage and diversity of the world alive.”
