My exemplary case is Mexican artist Teresa Margolles. In her work Lote Bravo (2005) she deals explicitly with a feminicidio that ‘officially’ began in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, in 1993 (since then the killings of women have not only continued but spread to the rest of the country). It is tragically clear that these killings of young women crystallize a cruel combination of capitalism, gender and death. Using spatiality, mediality and affectivity as a conceptual triad for analyzing this particular work and drawing upon the thinking of Judith Butler, I will show how Margolles re-frames (the representation of) the tragic event, which is what enables an aesthetic production of grief with real political effects.
