Manifiesto Horizontal (1973)

Synopsis

In 2022, the original negative of the film Javier Aguirre created in 1973 was found. It had never been shown, due to the threat of censorship, which had already targeted his short film Che Che Che. Aguirre himself had written in the label Manifiesto Horizontal. It is the Communist Manifest written horizontally with transparent glue on 35mm film. Aguirre stated that this piece “is born out precision, geometrical thinking (…) and when something happens by chance, that chance has been thoroughly studied.”
