Fact and commentary
Brief commentary on what is here understood as a commentary.
According to the spanish dictionary: commentary.
I. Text that acts as an explanation and co-mment on an artwork. II. Title
given to some shortstories. III. Conversation held by people or facts
of ordinary life, usually as a murmur.
We know that when murmuring something to someone the commentary is charged
with se-crets, with absence: a certain wicked complicity crosses the words
in these circumstances.
If the murmur is that soft and loud noise produced by the overlapping
voices in any chit chat, in the murmuring something is hidden, opinions
are given on an absent person and it is usually done in an interrupted
way, only discontinuous fragments arrive in a legible form to our ears.
But then: why do we speak here about commentaries?
What is hidden in this tautology of the everyday where things could seem
to be in front of one's face? We see what we see and we hear what we hear,
however, how much of that which isn't there or is lost keeps on acting
in some way on what effectively we see? It is in this gap between the
seen and the lost where this kind of urban mumbling moves. Buenos Aires
city becomes its own commentary.
