The Anatomy Lesson
Agustín Begueri

Agustín Begueri is an artist from Córdoba specializing in contemporary woodcut printmaking. His practice brings together printmaking, territory, and presence, expanding the medium into public space through interventions, street posters, and large-scale prints. He is currently developing projects that connect graphic production, memory, and the circulation of images in urban contexts.

His intervention on the Carapantalla reinterprets The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp by Rembrandt from a contemporary perspective. In this shift, the classical scene is relocated to the urban space, where the body ceases to be an object of scientific study and is instead conceived as a social body—exposed and shaped by the dynamics of the public sphere.

The choice of woodcut, both for its graphic strength and its scale, activates a critical tension within the advertising device, disrupting its visual and discursive logic. The work thus operates at the intersection of art, city, and the politics of the gaze, proposing a re-reading of the body in relation to contemporary regimes of visibility.
