PROJECT FOR THE DAY YOU'LL LOVE ME
.Accumulative installations, notes

This comprehensive series of installations gathers several works made about the information and the iconography of Ernesto Che Guevara’s final tragic campaign in Bolivia in 1967. The central research began in 1987 around the well-known and still anonymous photograph by Freddy Alborta who, together with a group of Bolivian journalists was allowed to view and to photograph the body of Che Guevara after his capture and execution at the hands of the Bolivian army, during a press conference that lasted twenty minutes in Vallegrande, Bolivia on October 10, 1967.
After succeeding to make contact and later to meet the photographer Freddy Alborta in La Paz, Bolivia, I began a series of trips to the Ñancahuazu region in the High Andes of Bolivia where Guevara conducted his last campaign. I returned from this first trip determined to begin a long term project, to make a documentary film and to start an investigation based on the documents and publications that I had gathered. A few months later I returned with a small film crew, we filmed an interview with Freddy Alborta and then travelled to the Ilabaya region to stage and film the pageant that appears in the film El Día Que Me Quieras. Although the film concentrates on the events surrounding the press conference and Alborta’s photographs, the historical and journalistic information that I had gathered during this period, immediately suggested the need to organize the information in a format that could allow an almost simultaneous reading of different accounts recorded in different military, historical and political journals. Since the information refers to specific dates and incidents recorded by the two sides of the struggle, and since the sources are often ideologically disparate and at times contradictory or erroneous, in gathering these specific entries day by day several observations become evident and point to what may be called the microhistorical events of the case which deserve close attention. The information gathered in 'ERNESTO CHE GUEVARA IN BOLIVIA: A Chronology' also incorporates new material, the result of discoveries and revelations published in recent years.
