| Sumario: | This paper argues that performances set in recognizable public spaces in the City of Buenos Aires open, through their own dynamics of representation, a temporal depth towards the past of a place. At the same time, they present shared deictics that can contribute to the construction of citizenship, understood as a daily, situated, and political act. Both Un paisaje para mí (Silvia Gómez Giusto and Aliana Álvarez Pacheco, 2023), performed at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, and Una obra más real que la del mundo (Mujer Mutante, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023), performed at Chacarita Cemetery, take on the structure of a guided tour. These interventions can be read as modes of enunciation about their respective loci of performance and explorations at the intersection of urban space, history, and memory. |
