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.
"An artist quite unlike anyone else... He has created some of the most memorable, unusual pieces in the past two decades."—Trebuchet magazine
