Through a series of photographs, installations, sculptures, videos, and performances by 22 internationally acclaimed Argentine artists, the exhibition explores the diversity of views and expressions of the culture of a country that in the past was the destination of the great European migrations. As a tribute, the exhibition takes its title from the homonymous novel by Argentine writer Héctor Bianciotti, whose plot is intertwined with the curators' careful selection, as it tells the story of his parents' migration and his own migration to Europe.

The itinerary enriches its narrative with recent works produced by prominent artists who, through diverse supports and poetics, abound in those key episodes of Argentine history. The tour presents emblematic works such as León Ferrari's "Western and Christian Civilization"; Lucio Fontana's famous slashes; Alberto Greco's provocative performances in Italy; the series of photographs that record Liliana Maresca's nude performance in the magazine El Libertino; there are also images and a video of Marta Minujín during the broadcasting of a program in which the artist created a live performance. An installation by Liliana Porter welcomes the exhibition.

For his part, Leandro Erlich presents Brooms: a structure formed by two identical brooms resting on each other that create in the viewer the false illusion of a mirror. Jorge Macchi gives autonomy to a suitcase that slides through the room, disturbing the visitor's path. In the next room, Tomás Saraceno presents the video "Vuela con Pacha, hacia el Aeroceno" based on an action carried out in the Salinas Grandes basin, Jujuy, with the local population protecting their ancestral lands from lithium extraction.

Other participants are Eduardo Basualdo, Mariana Bellotto, Adriana Bustos, Matías Duville, Lucio Fontana, Ana Gallardo, Alberto Greco, Cristina Piffer, Nicolás Robbio, Miguel Rothschild, Graciela Sacco, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Mariela Scafati, Juan Sorrentino and Adrián Villar Rojas.

In November 2023, the exhibition was inaugurated in the PAC space with the presence of the artists and curators, within the framework of a program carried out by this institution to show contemporary art from other countries in the Italian context. From that moment on, Proa Foundation has been involved in the exhibition, collaborating with the diffusion of Argentine art abroad.

The exhibition is complemented by an extensive program of activities organized by the Education Department of Fundación Proa to deepen the themes of the works and their scope in contemporary art.
