Alfredo Jaar is a Chilean artist born in 1956. He lived through the military coup on September 11, 1973, that brought Augusto Pinochet’s murderous regime to power. Jaar is a political artist who creates installations and exhibitions using documentary materials to compel all of us to look at what’s going on in the world. Without being delusional, he firmly believes in art’s ability to create change. The irony of being a successful artist who is invited to museums around the world while trying to draw attention to endless injustices is not lost on him. That’s why Jaar makes sure that much of his time is spent creating works outside of major cities. For example, he created an artificial cloud, a kind of celestial monument to immigrants at the Mexico-U.S. border crossing and traveled to Rwanda to document the genocide in one of his major works spanning six years. This film follows Jaar’s travels around the world and features numerous conversations with the brave artist who never looks away from the destruction humans are sowing around them.
