It is against the backdrop of the military dictatorship in Brazil that Meireles’ Inserções em circuitos ideológicos (insertions into ideological circuits) must be viewed: images and/or messages printed on such widely circulating objects.
For the same series Insertions into Ideological circuits, Meireles used bank notes and stamped on them the question “Who killed Herzog?”, referring to a journalist who had been tortured and murdered by the police in Brazil.
