ANTI-MONUMENTS TO COUNTERFACTUAL HISTORIES
SHORT (NO NARRATIVE)
ARTIST STATEMENT
“Counterfactual history is, at the very root, the idea of conjecturing on what did not happen, or what might have happened, in order to understand what did happen.”(Jeremy Black and Donald M. McRaild, 2007)
“A monument is something that represents power, or selects a piece of history and tries to materialize it, visualize it, represent it, always from the point of view of the elite. The anti-monument on the contrary is an action, a performance. Everybody is aware of its artificiality.” (Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, 2002)
