Summary:

Every year, on January 8, thousands of devotees fill a roadside shrine located a few kilometers from Mercedes (Corrientes, Argentina). It was on that day and there, they claimed, that Antonio Mamerto Gil Núñez better known as "Gauchito Gil" was executed in 1878. The rebel Gaucho was resident of the province of Corrientes and soon after his death, began to grant favors to the humblest in need, until his figure became a myth and a cult. This photobook by Agustín Sargiotto (Cordoba 1993), known as Dagurke, pays tribute to the most popular and beloved Argentine popular saint, "joins this celebration and finds a festival of images of piercing glances, messages tattooed on the skin, prayers, stamped flags and plaster figures protected by film paper, folk music chamamé, tall glasses and the sapucal (gaucho) scream.".
