The Inexistent Museum n. 2 is a site specific installation by the Mbyá Guarani filmmaker Ariel Ortega (25 de Mayo, 1985), the Brazilian curator and writer Gabriel Bogossian (Rio de Janeiro, 1983), and the Brazilian artist and researcher Victor Leguy (São Paulo, 1979). In the piece, the trio aims to reflect on the indigenous presence in South American culture and how the indigenous world was seen and depicted throughout our visual history.
For that, Ortega and Leguy will develop works based on the diaries of Tobias Bischi, a fictional ethnographer that disappeared in the early 20th century while travelling among the Guarani villages of the province of Missiones. Gathering characteristics of different  ethnographers that travelled through South America in the late 19th/ early 20th century, Bischi's presence will evoke the region's rich history, marked by both indigenous and non-indigenous spirituality and the different military conflicts that took place there. 
The Inexistent Museum n. 2 takes its title from the absence of a museum devoted to the encounter with the indigenous world in the American continent. As a museological device of sorts, the installation aims also to reflect upon the role of museums and their technologies in informing contemporary political and cultural debates. The relationships between image, power, and otherness will constitute a pivotal aspect of this project, where fictional re-creation allows a critical look at the history of this encounter.
