The Restoration of High Culture in Chile
1977
Installation with photo and text work
The artwork is a photo and text work that, in fictionalized form, examines the various degrees of political anesthesia and moral corruption implied by a successful adaptation to unquestioned and abstract notions of high culture. It shows how a political crisis can reveal the way types of cultural production appeal to sharply divided audiences and does so in part by adopting a hybrid form of enunciation, between short story and political tract.
