El siluetazo
In Eduardo Gil's eyes
The ‘Siluetazo’ was a politico-aesthetic action that succeeded in symbolizing thousands of eople who had been disappeared during the military dictatorship in Argentina. Three visual artists, Rodolfo Aguerreberry, Julio Flores, and Guillermo Kexel, conceived the action, and brought their proposal to the Mothers and Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, as well as different social and human rights organizations. Today, thirty years after the ‘siluetazo’ and thanks to the work of artists like Eduardo Gil, who actively participated in the action, we have access to images that make it possible to address this historic event.
