Editor: This untitled piece by León Ferrari, made with newspaper clippings, feels like a direct confrontation with history. What emotional weight do you think these fragments carry? Curator: Newspapers, as ephemeral objects, become potent symbols when recontextualized. Do you notice the dates scribbled? They transform a fleeting moment into a fixed point of remembrance. Consider what cultural anxieties are being preserved here, enshrined for future generations. Editor: So, it’s not just about the events themselves but the act of remembering them? Curator: Precisely. The clipping becomes a relic, charged with the psychological weight of collective trauma and the enduring search for justice. It's about cultural memory and its transmission. Editor: I see how Ferrari uses these ordinary items to create such a powerful, lasting impact.
