With a blown-up picture done on the basis of Floater, he takes part in the show No al indulto obediencia debida punto final, held in the Centro Cultural Recoleta.

In December, invited by critic Osvaldo Svanascini, he takes part in 11 x 11, show in the CAyC, in which there are as many artists as critics. Distéfano shows Floater (1988), First Flight Attempt (1989) and Vase Broken in 1890 (1988/89), along with works by Víctor Grippo, Marta Minujín, Lucía Pacenza, María Causa, Hernán Dompé, Norberto Gómez, Fernando Fazzolari, Duilio Pierri, Alejandro Corujeira, Jorge Demirjián and Héctor Giuffré.

He finishes First Flight Attempt, work which, transformed, shows an old inclination towards umbrellas. But it is not a child anymore who transforms it into an incredible gesture: the dream of “flying” appears perhaps as a metaphor of transcendence. The main character of the piece is captured in the moment he gains momentum to throw himself from the edge of the roof. The graphics in the shape of an arch that can be seen on his lower back and on the hips replicate the drawing on his ribs, the sides of the gables, and they rhythmically accompany the design of the umbrella that he is holding on his right hand. This ornamental set seems capable of visually slowing down the jump. Perhaps, the work compares the childhood fantasy and adulthood ideals, materialized by art. The chosen blue to colour the work, tone associated with the poetic, seems to ratify it.
