Summary

Through its own publishing label, Edicões Exu, engineer and self-taught artist León Ferrari (Buenos Aires, 1920-2013) printed La Basílica in 1985, his second work of the series that he called "literary collages", with a circulation of 400 numbered copies. He did so in the city of São Paulo (Brazil), where he had settled at the end of 1976 due to the civic-military dictatorship that ruled Argentina, and from where he returned to the country definitively only in 1991. The work takes the form of a theatrical piece, for which Ferrari describes a complex setting, a construction "with the shape and proportions of St. Peter's Basilica", where he locates a network of transparent stairs and landings, cages for cats, a huge gas grill with ten lighters, birds, doors, a reproduction of Michelangelo and an image of Christ. The extensive description is interspersed with observations by ornithologists Guillermo Enrique Hudson and Thomas Gilliard.
