About This Book

"Study of "the artistic productions of those Argentines who were born and/or lived, from a very young age in political exile in Mexico with their parents. Many of them have a missing uncle and grew up with the extended family through photos, letters, told stories and phone calls. They are Mexicans and Argentinians, or "argenmex", and currently live in Argentina. The artistic media chosen to carry out these practices were not at all random. "Photography, the body and the object" condense, at different levels - from the most underlying and invisible to the most obvious and exposed - ways of transforming and transmitting these traumatic and exiled memories. They are characteristic means of working with memory that art picks up and places its own stamp, its particularity." --
