Best regards is a re-elaboration of a photo by Marco Ugarte which portrays Pope John Paul II and Augusto Pinochet on the balcony of Palacio de la Moneda, at Santiago of Chile in 1987. The picture becomes a panel with life-size human figures. Two ovals have been cut out in the place of their faces, thus making it possible to use the work as a photographic background where people can insert their own heads in place of those of the Pope and the Dictator.
