Presences

T4, They Went North to Reach the South, From the Other Side, are some of the titles that Graciela Sacco has given to the works which insistently tackle the issues of transit, migrations, and displacement. These affirmations ramp up uncertainty, questioning the positions defining us and them, tearing down all certainties erected on the ways in which space and territory are controlled. Between cautious attempts to realize unfulfilled dreams we see the gestures of a society under stress, raising arms, opening mouths, running and pointing to try and attract attention with its claims. Sacco places us before situations which reveal a human conditioned marked by conflict, struggle, transit, migration and exile. 

Faced with the substantiality of reality, she chooses evanescence. Her images are written in light: they change, fleeing, as do our daily lives, and call out the viewer by asking questions and prompting reflection.
