Iaros (Iaroslav Kozak)

Known as Iaros, his biography slips away, full of gaps, in an opaque and mysterious character. He was part of the Buenos Aires bohemian scene during the sixties and seventies. He frequented the Instituto Di Tella, as well as the bars where young people met to discuss art and politics: the Moderno, the Bárbaro, the Caracol, among others. Iaros became a silent witness to that scene. Those who knew him agree that he ended up in a psychiatric institution, and at some point in the early 1990s his trace was lost. His photograph would have been forgotten had it not been for a briefcase that Rómulo Macció - his bar friend and neighbour in La Boca - rescued from the hospice where he lived when he was taken away.
