Projeto Pacífico, 2010
Videoinstallation
This stop-motion video focuses on a violent earthquake that separated Chile from South America, turning the country into an island on the Pacific. As a result, Argentina gains a coast on the Atlantic and Bolivia regains access to sea, which it had lost to Chile in the Pacific War (1879–1904). Another portion of the piece explores the book Chile ayer hoy (1975), used as political propaganda for the Pinochet administration. The film presents two complex historical moments in Latin American history: the fiction of peace built in Chile under Pinochet, and Bolivia’s lost sea access. In so doing, the video connects seemingly unrelated histories.
Jonathas de Andrade‘s installations and videos investigate social, political, cultural, and ideological issues that are at risk of vanishing from collective memory. His work has been shown at the 12th Biennale de Lyon (2013); 2nd New Museum Triennial, New York (2012), the 12th Istanbul Biennial (2011), the 29th Bienal de São Paulo (2010), and the 7th Bienal do Mercosul, Porto Alegre (2009).
