In thisorder of ideas, the article highlightsthe ethical nature of a series ofColombian video art works that“make a statement” regarding thesocio-cultural conditions in whichthey arose. Appealing to memory,absence, and voice, it seems thatthese works seek to startle andproduce anguish in their viewers bypresenting an abundance of banaltexts and images offered by the media(including the already famoussignifier, “post-conflict”), whichdistract us from the horrors of war. |
