Adrian Villar Rojas - Films Before Revolution

Published on the occasion of an exhibition of work by Argentinian artist Adrián Villar Rojas, winner of the Zurich Art Prize 2013, this catalogue offers critical insight into the artists unique creative cycle. Rojas is known for site-specific sculptures and installations, usually transient in nature, which he develops from conceptual drawings and constructs out of clay, cement, wood and mud. The work process is documented in photos by the artist, which in turn serve as a basis for his watercolours. Influenced by manga, a sense of loss and the state of humanity, his engrossing vision is both poetic and metaphysical. Includes essays by Sabine Schaschl, Matheus Frey and Ariel Torti.
