In 1974, dictator Augusto Pinochet banned three words: "Obrero (workman), Compañero (coworker) and Pueblo (people), and later made them disappear from all legislation that contained them. "OBRERO" by artist Cristian Maturana Ortiz (Antofagasta, Chile 1979, lives in Copiaco, Atacama), is an installation that rescues and resituates the figure of the workman through multiple operations: a video presented through a series of vintage televisions, in which the word "Obrero" appears: tattooed on the body of the artist, embroidered on his work romper overall, engraved in a path and written in the desert. Also, the iconic word chiseled in a block of passable cement and a photographic series, which aim to re-inscribe and extend the meaning and presence of the figure of the worker.
