Warnes

Hirsch’s first steps in filmmaking were documentations of her performances and happenings in public spaces. These were collective actions, filmed initially on 8mm or 16mm film, such as MANZANAS, EDGARDO or TAMBORES EN LA PLAZA, which record the reactions of a randomly chosen spectator. During the 1980s, Hirsch made a series of documentary films about various events in the city, such as the demolition of a building in WARNES or the appropriation of a monument in PICHÓN EN LE OBILISCO. MUNDIAL 78 is a humorous depiction of the controversial 1978 football World Cup that took place during the Argentinian dictatorship. The programme begins with DIARIOS PATAGÓNICOS 2, which explores her everyday life, travels and friends that reveal their working methods. It finishes with COME OUT, one of Hirsch’s key works, which, according to Pablo Marín, introduced structuralist filmmaking to Argentina. (Cecilia Barrionuevo)
