More about the book

Sebastián Díaz Morales, born in 1975 in Comodoro Rivadavia, presents a unique autopoietic sum of his work in images, texts, and participant reports through his book, a blend of the words for dictionary and fiction. Since graduating from Rijksakademie van beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam in 2001, he has exhibited at prominent institutions across Europe and the US, and participated in major film festivals and biennials worldwide. He evokes a quote from Jorge Luis Borges: "The mind was dreaming. The world was its dream," reflecting a view of reality that merges poetic and realistic narrative styles. This perspective embodies the essence of Latin American magical realism and the docu-fictional approach of South American cinema. In his film "Pasajes," a man transitions through various rooms, connecting diverse worlds. His installation "Insight" further explores the nature of reality, questioning whether what we see is merely an illusion. This book invites readers on an intelligent and entertaining journey, encouraging them to ponder the boundaries between reality and imagination.
