Extático Trailer (2013)
06 May 2013 5 mins
Two sculptures in the Americas produce the global colonial imagery: the neoclassical Statue of Liberty, in New York, and the art décor Christ the Redeemer, in Rio de Janeiro. Both counted on French intervention and they operate in the frequency that Walter Benjamin describes as being "the story of the conquerors". Monuments which reframe the invasion and conquest in the spatial imagination, guaranteeing the temporal continuum and structuring the expansion of the integrated systems of global capitalism.
