SHARED ABSENCE – AN EXHIBITION OF COLLECTIVE MEMORY
The Jewish Museum of Buenos Aires | Templo Libertad presented Falta compartida (Shared Absence), an exhibition that took place at the Rolf Gallery in 2019 as part of the commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the attack on the AMIA (Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina), which itinerates on the occasion of the 30th anniversary, presenting itself as a reflection on the post-memory of recurring traumatic events in Argentine history.
The gathered works evoke the trace of an absence, questioning beyond the referential, narrative or testimonial, and denoting collective and universal experiences: the feeling of shared loss that is transmitted from one generation to another. These pieces violate the boundaries between installation, photography, monument and memorial, exploring the margins of representation. They function as catalysts for the activation of memory, enduring beyond anniversary dates and inviting us to constantly revisit these themes, proposing new ways of thinking the commonplace from a grammar of the indexical and denotation, with a mixture of text and image, rhetoric and writing. It is a sort of mnemonic art that inscribes in the work a dimension of locatable and even bodily memory.
