Open-access LEILA DANZIGER AND EUGENIA BEKERIS: A DIPTYCH ABOUT THE NEW ART OF MEMORY

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    Abstract

    The article presents the works of two artists involved with the connection between art and memory. Both come from Latin America: one from Brazil, Leila Danziger, the other from Argentina, Eugenia Bekeris. Both have developed particular and original poetics. Both have received the memory of Shoah, Holocaust, as a terrible heritage. In their work, we can see images and words coming together to create a powerful and at the same time delicate art of memory. With their works we are able to both, see from a closer spot the ruinous landscape of the 20th century, and rethink our own present from a more critical point of view.

    Keywords: Art of Memory from Evil; Video Art; Shoah Memory; Argentine Dictatorship
