Summary :
Irit BATSRY 's installation OF PERSISTENCE OF ABSENCE was created at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio in 1991. This installation was made of a boat filled with sand, with the footprint of an absent person. A monitor shows a tape which includes a text by Buckminster FULLER over the top of the head of that person. This same text is written on a French window and is superimposed over the city, becoming a stage in that questioning about the outside and the inside.
