Graciela Sacco, born Argentina, 1957, is a photographer, video and installation artist whose work with heliography, investigates historic and current events and issues that face everyday life. Her art is most particularly concerned with socio-political themes of hunger, poverty, freedom of speech, injustice and civil unrest that has occurred throughout the history of Argentina, and other nations. Through powerful photographic "images of memory" she projects revealing images and details of urban protest, political marches, labor strikes, and civil riots upon objects of daily use. Utilizing public and historic images from newspapers, personal family albums, or other sources, scenes of urban violence transcend their specific histories, but remind us of South American political tensions, and the period of the "disappeared ones" during Argentina’s political repression of the 1960s and 70s. Sacco’s sometimes controversial art has used the medium of heliography for the past ten years. She created an anti-orthodox method of using the heliographic image to enable her to transfer original or appropriated images onto a wide range of supports: from paper and canvas to rubber, leather, wood, glass, stone, cardboard, plastic or metal. Sacco never allows the viewer a look at the entire image; rather, she is content to reveal only fragments of her photographs. These fragments of time are inherent to our contemporary society and when unveiled these relevant concerns, meanings and realities affect us directly on a much larger scale.
