OJOS DE CIERVO RUMANOS
A dried-out tree, a few plants, some terracotta flowerpots, an armchair, some sand, a sweater and an old turntable. A young girl raised like a rare, fragile flower by her gardener father who transplants her from vase to vase, seeking the right soil for her to truly blossom. An absent mother and a brother who has gone astray. An arid land that is now barren.
Influenced by Buñuel as much as by Euripides, Beatriz Catani belongs to that generation of Argentine artists who lived through the gradual desiccation of their country, from Peronism to the economic debacle of the past few months. Breast-fed with myth and tragedy, she has created with Ojos de ciervo rumanos a curious work, a beautiful, astonishing fable that stays etched in the memory for a long time.
