A key figure in video art in Latin America, Lotty Rosenfeld (Santiago de Chile, 1943–2020) was the author of an unclassifiable oeuvre, situated at the confluence of her political struggle against state violence and a conception of images as an essential space of freedom for transforming the present.
Her work erupted during the Pinochet dictatorship, when the streets were off-limits for any citizen demonstration and taking films or photographs was forbidden. Through a series of public space interventions, she challenged the silence imposed by the political-military power while also urging the community to imagine new forms of collective participation. The impact of her first actions marked all her subsequent works.
Her audiovisual work, characterised by a radical intersection of materials, languages, and archives, operates as a true bypass, opening up new possibilities wherever life and its creative forces have been obstructed.
