“I will not act in the world before understanding the world” - Alfredo Jaar

According to Alfredo Jaar, there is a huge gap between reality and its possible representations but the role of the artist is to try different strategies for representation which can help to communicate on these different realities. 

In this conference, he will share his artistic practice and its inspirations.

Alfredo Jaar is a conceptual artist, architect, and filmmaker who lives and works in New York. Jaar has realized more than seventy public interventions around the world. His works are very often political and deals with sensitive subjects, such as the Rwandan genocide, environmental pollution in Nigeria or problems around immigration between the U.S. and Mexico.
