    “Even if my hands were full of truths” is the third part of a series by the artist about the legacy of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. This component is a mirror that contemplates how memory might or might not become history, using excerpts from now-classified CIA correspondence and a photo-montage taken at the Museum of Human Rights and Memory in Santiago.
