| Summary: | The Reconstruction of the Portrait of Pablo Míguez by Claudia Fontes is a sculpture located in the Parque de la Memoria, a public space located on the Buenos Aires waterfront, facing the Río de la Plata, erected to commemorate the disappeared and murdered by the State terrorism that Argentina ravaged from the mid-70s until the return of constitutional democracy in December 1983. The interest that this statue produces originates in that it, more than any of the other works that are part of the poly-sculptural set of the Park of Memory, is situated at the radical point of fracture between the recognition and sensitivity of the meaning that Gilles Deleuze gives to the genesis of the act of thinking and to thought itself: to the "object of the fundamental encounter". Reconstruction ... not only acts as an object of encounter because of its factual relationship between the river and the city, but it is the very place of creation of the encounter and bursts into thought when it is incapable of producing the recognition of the object of the act of thinking thus forcing the sensitive world to intervene.
