Riesgo País

In the land of risk, those who have nothing strive to get something. Everything is suered greatly and enjoyed intensely because nothing is guaranteed. From a physical memory of scarcity, a monumental and fragmented image is built with pieces of what is available at the moment.
There can also be found many ghosts fed with fear, hate, and grief. There is a lot of romance too. However, behind all these narratives, fictions, and realities, an economic skele- ton that sustains them and gives them shape is always present.

This exhibition ventures into a relationship with reality, between its fictionalized construction and the material conditions that bring it about. A circuit that imposes itself
as reality is produced in the journalistic discourses on finance, in the repetition of words in economic narratives.
Creating in an unstable context, with the privilege of living in other narratives, we have the possibility to reflect on this burden imposed by the media. We start by exploring an economic index that is broadcast- ed in Argentinian news alongside the weather. It does not have an obvious meaning for most people but suggests
that a crisis can be triggered at any minute. In the story that connects the artworks, we can find this message latently emerging from their symbolic fields.
