The work examines the material culture related to the Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional (FALN)
much of which has been suppressed or must necessarily remain hidden. Santiago Muñoz focuses on the complicated desires, anxieties, and split subjects that emerge from the toll of colonialism and forms of resistance to it. Informed as much by what is said and can be seen as by what is invisible, gone, and remains unsaid, Safehouse presents a series of moving image works and objects used to explore this sensorial unconscious in order to expand and reformulate the constellation of ideas surrounding this history.
[Safehouse was made during a long residency with Sullivan Galleries / School of the Art Institute of Chicago]
