In 2004, the previously classified documents of Henry Kissinger’s telephone transcripts were released. This transcript of a conversation on 16 September 1973, five days after the coup, between Kissinger and President Richard Nixon stands as evidence of the Nixon administration’s orchestration and support of the Pinochet coup. The work is titled after Kissinger’s response of ‘Nothing of very great consequence’ to Nixon’s request for an update on foreign events, until going on to note how the ‘Chilean thing is getting consolidated’. The conversation is chilling in its demonstration of the dismissal which Nixon and Kissinger show towards the national tragedy. By mounting the transcript on a light-box, Jaar brings the conversation into a space in which it can be scrutinised.
