Diego Maradona

* 30.10.1960 - † 25.11.2020

In der Stadt war man Demütigungen gewohnt, man lebte mit ihnen [...]. Maradona hat dieses Gefühl der Schmach, das die Stadt immer und immer wieder erlitt, verstanden. Er hat das nachgefühlt, der Arbeitersohn aus Villa Fiorito, dem Armenviertel am Rande von Buenos Aires. Der Trotz, es all jenen zu zeigen, die mit dem Finger auf die Schmuddelkinder weisen, der hat ihn und die Stadt vereint.

People call me a philosopher or a scientist or an anthropologist. I am none of those things. I am an anamnesiologist. I study what has been forgotten. I divine what has disappeared utterly. I work with absences, with silences, with curious gaps between things. I am really more of a magician than anything else.

— Laurence Arne-Sayles
