From the MoMA:
Adrián Villar Rojas creates monumental, site-specific installations using materials like clay, concrete, organic matter, and found objects to explore post-apocalyptic or mythological realities, challenging perceptions of time and decay. His works often have a temporary quality, decaying over time, and incorporate elements of performance and collaboration to construct immersive environments that merge art, history, and the natural world.
From the Publisher
The first book to explore the fascinating career and fantasy-driven worlds created by the acclaimed Argentinean artist. Adrián Villar Rojas's works concoct imaginary realms. Usually made from clay, his colossal installations are transitory and so cannot be collected, as they disappear or decay over time. His practice confronts the public with ideas of obsolescence and extinction, but also with the possibilities of humankind and its endless imagination. This is the first book to include all of Villar Rojas' most significant projects, featured in international biennials such as Venice, Documenta, Shanghai, and others. See less
