Installation with books, lamps and tables
Dimensions variable
The work 72.969 kg. Enciclopedia de peso del artista uses
paper as a measure of personal weight, translating the
72.969 kg into 11,700 sheets of paper organized into 39
artist books. Each page is typewritten, but without ink,
showing the cumulative value of the page’s weight relative
to the total weight. This void symbolizes the accumulation
of invisible information in a data-saturated society, offering
a pause in the accelerated pace of modern life.
