Uncommon artists' book self-published by Padin featuring a montage homage to Joseph Beuys’ 1972 iconic photograph ‘LA RIVOLUZIONE SIAMO NOI’.
There are at least four other versions with distinguishing covers and possibly slightly different sequences published by Edition Stack and I.A.C. Central Office. This was published before Padin's change of address in 1988/1989.
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.
