Carmen Berenguer matters becuase her mind has not aged. Contrary to Oscar Wilde’s Dorian Gray, Berenguer who is one of the leading figures of the Chilean Neo Avant Garde in differente media. Although she sees herself as a poet, she is a writer of chronicles, a visual artist, a performance artist. Her creative work is widely known in Latinamerica an abroad since the 1980s. She is one of those political conceptualists that since the 1980s and until today have transfomred their lives into artistic material. She is concerned with political opinion, cultural criticism and reflections about language. She has a particular acute sense of the importance of aesthetics at a time that it seemed to be a brougeois distraction. In 1987 she ideated the Congreso the Litertura Femenina that established postmodernism and deconstruction as lingua franca which created the condition for Buttler’s influence. In 2005 Carmen Berenguer obtained a grant “Creación del fondo del libro”. In 2006 published the poetry book “Mama Marx” which talks about the city defeats and two years later the house of poetry . In 2008 won the Pablo Neruda ibero-american poetry prize, first time has been awarded to a chilean writer.
