Thinking about Chile, lately


I watched the amazing Chilean film,  La nana (Sebastian Silva, 2009), a few years ago, and I cannot take it from my head. There is something in the gorilla mask's moment that is so powerful and surreal. It made me think of my "decapitations" and my "surrealist gestures".

The film can actually be found in Netflix and there is a very interesting interview in Bomb Magazine Online

Dawn Ades, Rita Eder and Graciela Esperanza have a very recent new text "Surrealism in Latin America, Vivismo Muerto" (2012). Chile is present in Martin Ayala's article titled The Photographic Legacy of Surrealism in Late-Twentieth-Century Chilean Poetrymore.


... also,  Nelly Richard has been a lot in my thoughts too.
