Archive of MINUCODE
Marta Minujín
Argentine, born 1943
1968
A gelatin silver photograph by Marta Minujín that documents a corridor scene from her MINUCODE project, where the artist sought to record and archive the social interactions of her ephemeral happenings.
The image arrests you with a sharply lit arched hallway and a formally dressed man looking toward the camera while a small cluster of people converse nearby, producing a tense mix of candid intimacy and deliberate observation.
The print exemplifies how Minujín used photography to preserve transient, participatory performances, helping to expand late‑1960s Latin American avant‑garde practices by treating documentation as part of the artwork.
