TURISTAS by Iván Argote
PHOTO SERIES, 2012 – 2013
Iván Argote covers with indigenous ponchos (and without permission) some historical statues made for the glory of the conquerors (in Spain, Colombia and United States). This gesture is still tender and heart-warming, despite his frontal criticism against a political power that stands as heroes figures who contributed to the massacre of many indigenous tribes.
Two photographies of this series have joined the collection of the Centre Pompidou and will be presented for the first time in the museum in the exhibition : Global(e) Résistance, curated by Christine Macel, Alicia Knock and Yung Ma, from June 24 to October 26, 2020.
