Quebrantahuesos, Nicanor Parra, Enrique Lihn and Alejandro Jodorowsky, 1952

In 1952, Nicanor Parra, Enrique Lihn and Alejandro Jodorowsky, they created the “Quebrantahuesos,” a series of poetic interventions shaped as collages, presented in the style of a bulletin board. Containing found text and images taken from newspapers, these “bone-breakers” were effective devices appropriating public space and vernacular language, and were exhibited on the walls of downtown Santiago.
