On September 11, 2012, Alfredo Jaar published a series of commands across thirteen different pages of Berlin’s three main newspapers which read ‘ARREST KISSINGER!’ The artist published his command in all the languages of the countries where Kissinger committed his war crimes. The polemical cry is a call to arms to convict Henry Kissinger for war crimes. The project suggests how the media can be mobilised as a possible site for protest. The artist was having a major retrospective in three Berlin institutions at the time, and the intervention coincided with both Kissinger’s visit to the city and the anniversary of Pinochet’s coup.
