Title: Un atlas
Description: Retrospective catalogue comprising the artwork (photographs, installations, interventions, art-objects), that artist Rosario López Parra (b. Bogotá, Colombia 1970) has created since 1996, soon after she graduated from the Universidad de los Andes. Her art career has gone through different phases: her early photographic production is strongly related to the human body and the violence lived in Colombia in the 1990's. In 1997 she travels to London to study sculpture and started drawing sketches in a notebook. Another sketchbook entitled "Trampas en el viento" (Wind Traps) with photographs confirms her intuition to understand sculpture as a force of nature. Coauthor Natalia Gutiérrez comments on the book "Rosario López has always made sure that a catalogue of each exhibition gets published, unless circumstances forbid it. For this reason we both decided to take on the agreement of the book as a chronicle: that is, by revealing the events in the order they have occurred chronicle as an atlas; as a collection of routes and voices." -p.
