!http://www.sydneylatinofilmfestival.org/cms/images/106.jpg!Itself a visual masterpeice, a collage of the great Colombian artist’s life that traverses the globe and spans momentous periods of time Pedro Manrique Figueroa, pioneer of collage in Colombia, has never had a biographer. For a very simple reason: his life is like an adventure novel that is both incomplete and contradictory, constantly linked to the sparkling uncertainties of oral tradition. Taking Manrique Figueroa’s life and work as a pretext, A Paper Tiger takes the viewer on a journey through history over the period from 1934 to 1981, when the artist mysteriously disappeared from view. A Paper Tiger is itself a collage, where art and politics rub shoulders, where truth and lies are placed side by side, where documentary and fiction intermingle.
