Reconstructions
The reflection on what art can reveal or disclose opens a discussion about the real, always contentious for aesthetics, philosophy, psychoanalysis, social theory, and today rarefied by the crisis of the regimes of truth, the empire of fake news and “alternative facts”.

The reflection on what art can reveal or disclose opens a discussion about the real, always contentious for aesthetics, philosophy, psychoanalysis, social theory, and today rarefied by the crisis of the regimes of truth, the empire of fake news and “alternative facts”. But the real did not disappear as is rumored, assures the art historian Hal Foster, only that the discussion no longer concerns its presence but its position. Some of the most innovative artistic and narrative projects of the last decades are less interested in exposing a given reality behind a representation, than in reconstructing an occluded reality or pointing out an absent reality. And it is perhaps Forensic Architecture, a research group made up of architects, filmmakers, visual artists, journalists and lawyers, the group that has most actively undertaken the reconstruction of acts of violence and human rights violations, with extraordinarily innovative methods of production and visualization of evidence in different formats. But literature can also expand its limits to show what we cannot see with processes of materialization and mediatization analogous to those of Forensic Architecture. La compañía (2019) by Mexican artist and writer Verónica Gerber Bicecci deploys a wide range of media and languages to reconstruct one of the most devastating cases of predatory extractivism in Mexico, starting from the ruins of Nuevo Mercurio, a mining town in the state of Zacatecas. With reconstructive impetus, Gerber Bicecci assembles very diverse materials, brings together languages and hybrid genres to compose a story of Nuevo Mercurio that faces the complexity of its plundering rise and fall, and the sinister spectrum of its aftermath, traumatic, psychological, environmental and social networks that still endure. |

La reflexión sobre lo que el arte puede revelar o desvelar abre una discusión sobre lo real, siempre contenciosa para la estética, la filosofía, el psicoanálisis, la teoría social, y hoy enrarecida por la crisis de los regímenes de verdad, el imperio de las fake news y los “hechos alternativos”. Pero lo real no desapareció como se rumorea, asegura el historiador del arte Hal Foster, sólo que la discusión ya no atañe a su presencia sino a su posición. Algunos de los proyectos artísticos y narrativos más innovadores de las últimas décadas están menos interesados en exponer una realidad dada detrás de una representación, que en reconstruir una realidad ocluida o señalar una realidad ausente. Y es quizás Forensic Architecture (Arquitectura Forense), un grupo de investigación integrado por arquitectos, cineastas, artistas visuales, periodistas y abogados, el colectivo que más activamente ha emprendido la reconstrucción de hechos de violencia y violaciones de derechos humanos, con métodos extraordinariamente renovadores de producción y visualización de pruebas en distintos formatos. Pero también la literatura puede expandir sus límites para hacer ver lo que no vemos con procesos de materialización y mediatización análogos a los de Forensic Architecture. La compañía (2019) de la mexicana Verónica Gerber Bicecci despliega un abanico de medios y lenguajes para reconstruir uno de los casos más devastadores de extractivismo depredador en México, a partir de las ruinas de Nuevo Mercurio, un poblado minero del estado de Zacatecas. Con ímpetu reconstructivo, Gerber Bicecci monta materiales muy diversos, reúne lenguajes e hibrida géneros para componer una historia de Nuevo Mercurio que faceta la complejidad de su auge expoliador y su caída, y el espectro siniestro de sus secuelas, efectos traumáticos, psicológicos, ambientales y sociales que aún perduran.
