Discover Doris Salcedo’s ‘Atrabiliarios’ (1993), as part of White Cube Salon.⁠ ⁠ With this early work from one of the artist’s most widely exhibited series, Doris Salcedo offers a haunting testimonial to loss and the unresolved afterlives of the disappeared.⁠ ⁠ In ‘Atrabiliarios’ (1993), she arranges well-worn shoes within six wall recesses, each space veiled by a taut skin of cow bladder stitched to the wall along its edges with surgical thread.⁠ ⁠ Conceived in 1991, this body of work exemplifies the artist’s practice of political archaeology: exhuming the remnants of violence to shape charged sites of remembrance and mourning.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Click the link in our bio to explore online.⁠ ⁠ Video: © White Cube (Sam Smith).⁠ ⁠ #WhiteCube #DorisSalcedo #whitecubesalon #contemporaryart
