LILIANA PORTER: FOTOGRAFÍA Y FICCIÓN

Centro Cultural Recoleta, 2004, First edition, 257 pp., 9 1/4" X 10 1/4", Softcover

Very good

Using a wide range of media including sculpture, printmaking, works on canvas, photography, video and installation, Argentinian artist Liliana Porter playfully mixes the absurd with the philosophical to create extraordinary portrayals of everyday plights. 

In this, the seventh volume of the Fundación Cisneros’ Conversaciones/Conversations series, Porter is in dialogue with art historian and critic Inés Katzenstein. She describes with simplicity and humor the ways in which her work blends the real with the representational, often in hypothetical yet convincing mini-dramas using mass-produced, kitsch objects that elicit both our compassion and laughter.
