Biblioteca de la No-Historia
The work consists on the creation of a library on Chilean history generated from the declassified archives of the CIA and other intelligence agencies.
The 600 books were available to the public and could be acquired by filling out a form that was archived for a future exhibition, which will allow this material to be put into critical circulation.
Given the difficulty to read the documents, as well as their lack of historical classification, I consider that their review by the reader-spectator is situated in a limbo between the image (redaction) and the word (fragments of information), which I propose as a metaphor to reflect on our history.
