A través del cuerpo
The series by Lina Espinosa, (b. Colombia, 1964), "Through the Body", explores the emotional reactions of victims of violence, a sector of the population that every day grows in the present conflict in Colombia. It evokes complex emotions of pain, being forgotten and impotence. In the drawings of this series the action of the light on the paper and the shading create backligted empty spaces.

Architecture and the Virtual
Architecture and the Virtual is a study of architecture as it is reflected in the work of seven contemporary artists, working with the tools of our post-digital age. The book maps the convergence of virtual space and contemporary conceptual art and is an anthropological exploration of artists who deal with transformable space and work through analogue means of image production.
