註釋Poet, author and performance artist Raul Zurita (b. Chile 1950) poetic calligraphic interventions over the sky of Queens in New York, in land art in the mountains of the desert of Atacama. In 1979, along with other artists, he founded CADA, (Colectivo de Acciones de Arte) with whom he carries out art actions of political dissent. "From there on, for Raul, his poetry became the refuge and sole aspiration capable of getting over the country's personal and collective tragedy."-Page 27. In July of 1982 the poem "La Vida Nueva" was written over Queens, New York using five airplanes that drew letters of white smoke, against the blue sky. The poem was written in Spanish to pay homage to the Hispanic population of the United States: chicanos, latinos and for the spreading of the marginalized and segregated of every part of the world. Five thousand meters high, every of the 15 sentences measured between 5 and 7 kilometers, so that they were visible from many parts of the city. Visual artist Juan Downey made a film to register this writings. His pictures, realized by Ana María López and Leonel Cid, are part of the book "Anteparaíso", published in November the same year. "Ni pena ni miedo" was elaborated in 1993. In the first 3 years of democracy, Zurita conceived this phrase in the Atacama Desert. With an extension of 3.5 kilometers and a calligraphy of a Hispano-American spelling book, it shows a heroic way of facing the future, the hope and the tragedy. Every word was made with old excavators and mechanic shovels, which only made it legible from the distance of an airplane. The present edition recues the photographs that documented the poems in the sky and desert. These are accompanied by other 15 plates where the phrases have been made of a dry stamp. Therefore, in spite of the typographic clearness, the poem becomes readable in the furrow of the paper: holding it against the light makes the low relief legible.
