21 FEB – 15 MAR 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the occasion of ARCO and the parallel activities of Art Week, OBLIQUO presents Rebellions<\/strong>, a video installation by Argentine artist Gabriela Golder<\/a><\/strong>. The exhibition, curated by Mario Guti\u00e9rrez Cru<\/a>, is produced in collaboration with Rolf Art<\/a> (Buenos Aires) and once again counts on the support of PROYECTOR.<\/a>

Rebellions<\/em> (2022) proposes a contemporary reading in moving image of the lithograph La internacional<\/em> (1935) by Guillermo Facio Hebequer, one of the most emblematic representations of popular outcry and collective gestures of revolt. Raised flags, bodies in tension\u2014an image that has traversed cultures, periods, and contexts, becoming fixed as an icon within our visual memory. Against this symbolic crystallization, Gabriela Golder shifts attention toward time and the fragility of the gesture when it is set back into motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work unfolds through an extreme slowing down of action. The frozen gesture expands, fragments, and becomes humanized, allowing multiple moments\u2014usually absent from the epic of political imagery\u2014to emerge. The absence of sound intensifies this temporal suspension, focusing the experience on corporeality, breathing, and the affective dimension of collective action. Here, deceleration operates not as an aesthetic device, but as a critical strategy to recover the density of struggle and its shared condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Far from historical reconstruction or nostalgic citation, Rebellions<\/em> reinscribes the icon into a new action, expanding its symbolic power and displacing it into the present. The performers\u2014workers from recuperated factories and actors from community theatre groups\u2014introduce a crucial layer of meaning, anchoring the piece in lived experiences of organization, resistance, and collective labour. The gesture ceases to belong exclusively to the archive of political representation and once again becomes body, sustained effort, and duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabriela Golder\u2019s practice consistently inhabits a space of friction between memory, identity, institutional violence, and the world of labour. Working primarily with moving image, her work constructs dispositifs that do not seek to illustrate conflict, but to generate conditions of perception in which the viewer is ethically and affectively implicated. Rebellions<\/em> condenses this line of inquiry, proposing an experience that challenges both our visual culture and our ways of looking at\u2014and inhabiting\u2014images of revolt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collaboration with Rolf Art, a Buenos Aires\u2013based gallery specializing in technical image and contemporary Latin American visual production, reinforces the dialogue between OBLIQUO and contexts of creation in which formal and political dimensions of the image are inseparable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
