Iratxe Jaio and Klaas van Gorkum present their project 'Alemanen kanposantue' for the first time in Portugal, at Galeria Presente, as part of the MostraEspanha2024 programme.
The installation revolves around the reconstruction of a monument dedicated to three Nazi soldiers killed in the Spanish Civil War. Its surface has been chipped and damaged by years of vandalism and the accumulation of layers of political graffiti. The sculpture reproduces this surface, treating it as a palimpsest of all the informal attempts to dismantle and appropriate the object loaded with ideology.
