Description: "This 6th volume of Kopelman's publication series 'Notes on Representation' reports a travel to the Andean highlands in Peru where she investigated the amorphous shapes of native potatoes. Her notes give account of indigenous agriculture and community efforts to preserve hundreds of potato varieties. From meeting a local potato king to witnessing first-hand the amazing variety of tuberous colours and shapes, Kopelman's experience and the resulting drawings are unique"--publisher website.
