Abstract

Ricardo «Mono» Cohen, also known as Rocambole, has made a file full of documents, productions and material memories of his life as an artist, designer and teacher. Among this pile of contents, at times immeasurable, it also keeps the most eclectic records of what was La Cofradía de la Flor Solar in its two dimensions: as a community and as a musical ensemble. Getting lost into Cohen’s archive, an extremely intimate space that is also relevant to the history of the Argentine beat movement, involves the succession of constant temporary leaps between moments captured by photographs, letters, posters, manifestos and even contracts.
