Favorite books ( project in progress ) I have always imagined Paradise as a kind of library. |
|
Artifices (JL Borges, 1944) copied and erased entirely by my own hand. The piece refers to the book's first story, Funes the memoirist, a Man with a prodigious memory but He was unable to abstract, to think, to have original thoughts. |

My version of Disgrace (JM Coetzee, 1999)was printed without the ñ´s, I drew also a simulated picture dedicated to my own family, my intellectualrelatives.who could miss a Ñ? Who cares the broken societies, if they are not even visible? |

389 pages printed only repeating the page 15, my favorite page of Lolita (V. Nabokov, 1955). Above the book, a lamp is suspended close to it. In this version there is not even a story, there is only a one-dimensional girl. A girl trapped on15 page. |

| Lolita and kiss (FAVORITE BOOKS) Digital Printing, manual bookbinding and lamp. 5" x 8" x 12" 2010 |

Brave New World (Aldous Huxley, 1932) printed back to front and flipped upside down. The bookis instaled with a pencil with a sad face carved into the tip. When the world turns upside down, maybe Ortega y Gasset is right when he says: "It's me and my circumstances". |

One Hundred Years of Solitude (G. García Márquez 1967) printed with gaps and omissions in the text. It is an interactive piece in which the public can fill in the blank sapces with what they remember of the story or what they wants to add to it. |
