Description

Catalogue of the exhibition Claudia Andujar. Marked , presented at Malba between March 4 and July 31, 2016.

This publication reproduces Andujar's most compelling work on the Amazon: the series Marked and Marked For , and includes an introductory text by the artist. Thanks to a publishing collaboration agreement with the National University of the Arts (UNA), MALBA published this work to accompany the exhibition project presented in Gallery 3 of the museum, dedicated to Latin American women.

Between 1981 and 1984, Andujar spent extended periods in the indigenous territory of the Yanomami tribe, in the Catrimani River basin, part of Brazilian territory. Along with two doctors, he took numerous photographs of the environment and of the expeditions, and registered each individual with a number around their neck. These images were used in health vaccination records, which helped save the lives of many members of the tribe.
This work arises for two reasons: on the one hand, at an anthropological level, from the attempt to help the survival of the Yanomami people through the vaccination of the inhabitants of the various populations and, on the other hand, at a conceptual level, in contrast to the artist's own biography, whose family and friends were marked and murdered in Nazi concentration camps.
