This is not America

Hello bloggers, today I’m talk about my favorite piece of art. This work was made by Alfredo Jaar, a chilean visual artist located in New York.

This artist based his work mainly in the questioning of the identity, mostly in the chilean and U.S societies.

The picture shows a work names “This is not America”, and representing the feeling of the artist when he leave Chile and go to U.S.A.

The work is a secuence of images illustrating the wrong concept of U.S people about his country. We're so accostumed to listen America and imagine U.S.A, but this conutry is only a part of our wonderful continent. And this installation show what's America for the others persons, not the U.S people.

This piece of art was publicated in Wall Street Center in New York, and caused controversy in the autorities of that State also in circulating people of the place.
