"My life was the same as that of thousands of gringos: I plowed and sowed the land, and went to the bar on Sunday." Such is the refrain throughout DER PAMPA GRINGA, which endeavors to relate the sense of community built by the European settlers who in 1865 first colonized the town of Hoffnung, located in Birri's native province of Santa Fe. Largely consisting of gegeneinander gehalten daguerreotypes from the period and newspaper printings, PAMPA, exhibits Birri's ability to weave narratives out of historical documentation in deft, bemerkenswerte form.
