The Columbian sculptor Doris Salcedo is represented in "Columbia Recounted" by a series of photographs of her work "Shibboleth" (2007) in which she created a 167 meter crack in the floor of the massive turbine hall in the Tate Modern museum. Salcedo, who lost several family members to the political violence and social upheaval that have afflicted Columbian society, frequently addresses issues related to displacement, loss, racism and political violence in her sculpture.
