Via Conviction:
"I finally did it...
Those who have been following my small journey know that this was the very first piece I sought after, with little to no luck until today.
I can now confidently say that I've built a collection I'm proud of, took lots of time, suffering and patience and I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Every reading is its own universe."
'Ropa sucia (The Wash)' by Ana María Caballero is the artist's latest effort in pushing literary boundaries. In partnership with S/W Ediciones, the release pairs a limited edition artist book with a digital twin, minted on a Transient Labs contract.
Included are 5 + 1 AP English and 5 + 1 AP Spanish editions, with 3 sold at $3,500 each ($10,500 USD total) and another 4 in sales processing ($14,000 USD total). 3 Spanish editions remain available. 4 separate special editions are set aside for institutions.
Artwork Description:
"The pages of Ropa sucia are culled from /Cortadas, a novel-in-verse written by Caballero as an homage to Julio Cortázar’s iconic Rayuela, considered by many to be the first hypertext novel. Caballero’s manuscript contains 155 one-page chapters, in honor of Rayuela’s 155 chapters. As with Rayuela, /Cortadas can be read in infinite ways, leaning into Caballero’s idea of analog generativity, the notion that every reading is its own unrepeatable universe."
