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.
Amilcar Packer
Amilcar Packer (Chile, 1974) lives and works in São Paulo. His artistic practice is based in actions, performances and interventions which displace, subvert and contextualise objects, urban spaces and performing bodies. Over the last decade, he has developed collaborative, performing and discursive intersections for public programmes — as well as seminars, workshops and residences — in coordination with editorial initiatives to modulate art as political imagination.
