Political Art Action: Aesthetics of Undocumentedness
This publication is an artisanal limited edition, hand-bound risograph.
Omar Pimienta’s political art action Consulado Móvil simultaneously serves as an analogy, an allegory, a symbol, and an accusation that authenticates undocumented bodies, giving a voice to immigrant narratives while problematizing naturalization and citizenship. Citizenship is more complex than a dichotomous ideology that creates two groups of individuals who live in direct opposition: those with the legal privilege to partake in the social contract of a nation and those not allowed to do so legally.
