Operation failure and the sound recovered was the title that Albertina Carri gave to the exhibition she held at the Memory Park between September and November 2015. The exhibition presented a series of video installations that staged a personal, family and political memory. Thus the exhibition could be read as a sort of self-portrait made up of remains and vestiges of the past: epistolary correspondence, film fragments, scripts, documents and records are for Carri the support of an archival policy that transcends the biographical to offer a possible reading of our recent history. Unproper Point, it was one of the films that were part of the exhibition.
