Language: English Soft Cover B&W/Color ISBN: 9789491843105 64 pages 25 x 35 cm Edition: First Edition Condition:new #European Books #First Edition #B&W #Color #Artist Books #Fine Art Books #Latin American Books This series of illustrations is the result of a project initiated in 2010 by invitation of Catalina Lozano at Gasworks, a centre for contemporary art in South London. In the project, Mexican artists Erick Beltr��n (now based in Barcelona) and Jorge Satorre lay out a web of relations based on a shared interest in the methodology proposed by Italian microhistory; specifically a 1979 essay by Carlo Ginzburg. By commissioning Jorge Avi̱a to illustrate complex concepts through old-fashioned political cartoon and comic book styles, they tackle mythology, science, philosophy, popular fiction and cultural themes in an investigation into a new way of making history, following a detective process.
