Reconstruction Office of Migratory Flows. 2015
Installation
The imagery of the conquest of Latin America is made up of political, religious and military situations illustrated with historical figures on pedestals and in paintings. Those devices are useful to build stories that hide the complexity of this process. It is only possible in a few record to see the reality implied by the large movements of people and the supplies required to dominate the continent. In her work, Reconstruction Office of Migratory Flows, María Buenaventura uses the story of a "re-creative researcher" responsible for designing the logistics of the conquest to build a very different image of heroism, in order to understand the dimensions of the war machine and the perceptions of the conquered who witnessed the thousands of animals and men involved and the devastation resulting from these campaigns.
