            when air hopes for water,
            it becomes scorpion to swim,
            
            fully sunk,      air forgets how to breathe,
            
            sometimes dies,
                 sometimes lives,   
            
            it shines,
                                 they drown,
            
            both morph.

The book / the form

⤷ 12p. 50u. Rosaspina paper and fabriano 240g. Screen Print and Letter press. 2018. (Available)

Description

The Book. The Form reflects on a fragment of the book Relational art of Nicolás Bourriaud where it is described the birth of form as Epicuro and Lucrecio did it. The project proposes, as a book, the con- struction of the book itself and its existence as a primary conceptual and material process. The final result is an artist’s book that takes shape during his own process of making. In a preliminary stage the project included a book binding workshop in which it would be born as a physical object, and it would spread to others by a sharing knowlege experience, but it couldn’t happen as I planned, so the edition of the book exists but I made it by myown. This project was exhibited at La Caja Galeria in Taller Trez, as a part of the exhibition Trez con Z during Artbo Weekend in Bogotá, Colombia.
