Rare 1980s eight page collection of "Fotogramas" or static image collages, made in homage to Patrice Lamumba the assassinated Former Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and in solidarity with those suffering from racism and fascism the world over.
The collage is composed of a pasted-down picture of Padin with a speech bubble which contains a pasted-down image of a man in shadow holding onto the bars of his prison with a thought bubble which contains a pasted-down picture of a bird in flight. Handwritten above Padin's address is "Amnesty-Uruguay-1984".
A Uruguayan artist, poet, and publisher, Padin edited the influential literary magazines Los Huevos del Plata and OVUM 10 which put him in contact with the international avant garde. A participant in mail art, his artistic and political endeavors landed him in jail in the late '70s and surveilled upon release til the mid '80s, deemed a threat by Uruguay's military dictatorship.
