Acción de la Estrella

In Santiago de Chile in 1979, at the height of General Augusto Pinochet’s military dictatorship, Leppe had a five-point star shaved into his hair, invoking Marcel Duchamp’s star-shaped tonsure of 1919. In this video document, Leppe sits behind a transparent version of the Chilean flag, his head becoming the national emblem’s otherwise missing star.
