Installation

The work involves the construction of a character, Esteban Costa Desi (1935-2000), a fictional historic Argentine geometric artist created from an extensive research.

The installation consisted on a parafiction in which the existence of the character gained veracity from different kinds of testimonies, books, documents and records presented in the manner of a false retrospective exhibition, where the works of Costa Desi (generated through software and technological devices) were shown along with his biography (education, exhibitions, awards and publications). While the retrospective is exhibited, a second parallel track presented the process of construction of the character by an analysis of the recent history of Argentine art, along with documentation, literature, photographs, source codes and notes.
