Un tigre de papel recounts the life of a pioneer of collage in Colombia, Pedro Manrique Figueroa, an activist and militant artist, the alter-ego of so many Latin American artists participating in the networks of visual poetry and mail art, who, before his disappearance in 1981, unsuccessfully tried to donate himself to the Museo de Arte Moderno in Bogotá. Through a myriad of interviews, archive images, quotes from writers and thinkers, Ospina traces a wide panorama of art and public life in Colombia in the second half of the 20th century, with the participation of many of its protagonists. Is this story really true? or maybe the false is more truthful than the so-called truth... F.R.
