This installation brings together ten documents from different sources to pose an alternative story –or at least raise doubts about the official story– in the context of political violence shared between West Germany and Italy in the 1970s.
These documents are evidence of the tracking, by the German Stasi and the Italian intelligence service, of the activity of the armed organizations Brigate Rosse and RAF. Through them, a certain similarity can be found, with the consequent suspicion, in the modus operandi of two of the most famous political crimes of both organizations: the kidnapping and murder of Hanns-Martin Schleyer (German business leader and former Nazi official of the Schutzstaffel, in 1977) and the assassination of Aldo Moro (former Prime Minister of Italy and central figure of the Christian Democracy party, in 1978).
In line with other projects by Alán Carrasco, Los círculos de tiza (Chalk Circles) raises what the artist calls "possibilities of History" or plausible events but for which there is no definitive evidence.
