With curatorship of Lucrecia Palacios, this is the first anthological exhibition dedicated to the work of Sergio De Loof (Buenos Aires, 1962), as a tribute to his legacy in local culture, emphasizing his fashion shows and clothing. It also includes his diaries, a selection of unpublished documentary materials, his interventions in the Wipe magazine, and his paintings and installations from the mid-1980s to the present. No one could imagine that Sergio De Loof, king of immediacy and ephemeral art, would build such a complete file of his work. For years he kept hundreds of press clippings about him, photographs of his fashion shows and his friends, hundreds of VHS footage, annotations and clippings pasted in accounting notebooks. Among them, taken off and with its edges flattened, shines a portrait that could be dated in the early 1990s. The memory of the photographer is lost.ʺ.
