artwork from the mimeographed edition of cecilia vicuña’s 1973 multimedia poetry collection, saborami, beau geste press.

“in june 1973 the C.I.A. and the chilean right wing, together with the army were openly conspiring to overthrow the popular unity government. i decided to make an object everyday in support of the chilean revolutionary process. after the coup d’etat and allende’s assassination the objects changed. in the beginning i wanted to prevent the coup, now the objects intend to support armed struggle against the reactionary government. the objects try to kill three birds with one stone: politically, magically and aesthetically. i conceived them as a journal. each day is an object (a chapter), all days make a novel. i didn’t want to make it with many words since there is hardly any time left to live.”
