This issue does not appear to state the year of publication anywhere (although with Vigía it is really impossible to say for certain that something is not included, as each publication offers so many places in which to hide any text or information...); we have taken the year from the 'Bibliografía de las Ediciones Vigía'. This issue is dedicated to ‘Travel and the Body’ and is illustrated with ‘direct prints of the human body’. Judging by their appearance, they are prints made by photocopying parts of the body (a classic feature of office Christmas parties when things get out of hand) and some of them are images of great beauty featuring lips and fingers; there are also feet and faces and, of course, genitalia of both sexes are not missing. The cover is decorated with reproductions of train and plane tickets, etc., and features a headless angel mounted on hardboard and hand-illuminated. It includes texts by Digdora Alonso, Alfredo Zaldívar, Mabel R. Cuesta and Eugenio Montale; the scroll (20.5x100cm) is by the Argentine poet Alejandra Pizarnik. Some traces of foxing on the covers and interior. Number 23 of 200 copies.
