  This piece is part of Backstage, a series of meetings with film, literature, theatre and painting. Backstage re-acts excerpts of artistic pieces which offer critical views on "art representation."

PHOTOGRAPHY was taken during RIAA (residencia internacional de artistas en argentina). The human models were the resident artists and photos were done in the hotel lobby (Viejo Hotel Ostende). The image is a reference to the film: L'année dernière à Marienbad (1960) by Alain Resnais with script by Alain Robbe-Grillet. This film script was based on “La Invención de Morel,” a novel of the Argentinean writer Bioy Casares, who wrote many stories while visiting this hotel.

This image was screened in the hotel auditorium with re-processing film sound.
