Resumen
El presente trabajo se propone reflexionar sobre la obra del
artista colombiano Oscar Muñoz: “Aliento” y su singular manera de representar el cuerpo ausente. A partir de la conjunción de dos soportes: fotografías y espejos, el artista busca
rememorar a los desaparecidos por la violencia de Estado
de las últimas Dictaduras Militares de América Latina. Desde
una mirada semiótica buscaremos analizar las peculiaridades de la obra cuya creación produce una virtualidad de la
representación que hace intervenir con su cuerpo al propio
espectador de la obra.
This article seeks to reflect upon “Aliento”, a series of works by Colombian artist Oscar Muñoz, and his unique approach to representing the absent body. Through the conjunction of two props, photographs and mirrors, the artist seeks to remember those who were “disappeared” through state violence in the last military dictatorships in Latin America. From a semiotic perspective, we seek to analyze the characteristics of this piece, which produces a virtual representation that requires the spectator to intervene in the work with his body
