Full Description
Lotty Rosenfeld (*1943, Santiago de Chile), key founder of the Colectivo de Acciones de Arte (CADA) and one of the leaders of the so-called Escena de Avanzada, has exerted a profound influence on new generations of artists in Chile and in Latin America. Her art actions, especially her intervention to the transit sign, the video archive and the audio archive, became her central creative resource. By appropriating images of cinema, television and the internet as a common language and recombining them generally as non-linear narratives, she makes evident the impact of the loss of freedom in society, socioeconomic manipulations and the power of capitalism on everyday events in the world. Through an exhaustive research work, the author Alexia Tala, presents a selection of antholical and some unpublished texts, also delving into her sources of inspiration, her way of thinking and acting. Additionally, the publication presents an analysis of her trajectory, her impact in the art world, her history, key works, and projects that were neither disseminated nor known.
