Bogota, Oct 10 (EFE).- Colombian artist and one of the most prominent figures in Latin America’s contemporary art, Beatriz González hoped to continue preserving memories of Colombia’s conflicts, which many wanted to leave in oblivion, with her work "Anonymous Auras".A part of Colombia “got used to the war” and “got used to the deaths”, the artist told EFE Sunday. In 2009, González began her art project by covering 8,957 tombstones of the four Columbaria of the central cemetery of Bogotá with silhouette figures of soldiers and peasants carrying dead bodies, in an effort to convert that space in a place of mourning.
