Title: Blanco & negro, encapotado, emboscada
Description: Andrés Waissman's book involves the documentation of his latest works: "Blanco & negroʺ (2015-Present, inks on different supports), "Encapotadoʺ (2016-2017, installation in steel shavings) and "Emboscada" (2015-Present, wire and plaster sculptures). These projects maintain an intimate and closely complementary bond. Three works that the same artist brings into relationship and dialogue both in the workshop process and on display. "Living works" that affect, modify and intersect generating multiple meanings and parallel readings. Through the use of resources such as documentary photography, editorial and typographic design, and the writing of texts and essays, the copy breaks with the standard format of "Artist book-catalog" and places the reader within a narrative woven by personal documents, images, words and poetry. A book-storyʺ that testifies to the transformation that matter is going through in Andrés's work, its changes of state, deconstructions and drifts: from chip to work of art, from solemn piece installed in a gallery to material in state of decomposition in a tank. From mere form to animal sculptures that recreate their habitat.
