Happening by Oscar Masotta, October 1966
Happening again and filmed by Dora García, 12 September 2015

In 1966 Argentinian author, critic, and psychoanalyst Oscar Masotta organized three happenings (or anti-happenings). These happenings still surprise us today because of their handling of audience, events, signs, narratives, and haunting. We feel contemporary to this peculiar handling or perhaps not quite yet. El helicóptero is the first chapter of a larger film titled Segunda Vez which dwells on the idea of “happening again”, not only with respect to re-enactment but even more so in the context of fantastic literature, visionary fiction, and alternative history.
