Foram ao norte para chegar ao sul: Graciela Sacco

They went North to arrive in the South. A statement that repudiates any certainty built during centuries about the forms of control of spaces and territories. Would it be possible for the South be in the North as well? Or it would be impossible to reach there? 

Among sophisticated movements in favor of unfulfilled desires the gestures of a tensioned society fall apart - understandable, as characterizes Graciela Sacco - a society that raises their arms, open their mouths, runs and gestures in the attempt to call attention to its complaints. 

Sacco places us in a continuous present, before situations that mark human condition signed by conflicts, battles, transits, migrations, and exiles. 

Before the explicitness of the real, she elects that which is evanescent. Her images are inscribed with light (so are her heliographies about different objects), they carve their presence through transparency or disintegrate under the light of the sun; they change, fugacious, with the dynamics of daily life, and at each step they question the spectator installing a question and with it a situation for reflection.
