It can be found imprinted on a dilapidated wall in the old neighbourhood of San Telmo, or on a concrete pillar supporting one of the motorways leaving Buenos Aires. Likewise, it can be found in the plaza de Mayo, the political heart of the city, or on Corrientes, the avenue that never sleeps and is famous for its theatres, cinemas and cafés. It portrays Bush emerging from a lavatory bowl, military personnel from the last Argentine dictatorship who still have not received punishment for their crimes, or simply an image which provokes laughter or incites reflection.
