Mariana Castillo Deball: Amarantus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788417975920)

Visualizing history through physical remnants and museum artifacts

Berlin-based Mexican artist Castillo Deball (born 1975) engages with science, archaeology and ethnography to visualize decisive moments in cultural history through an examination of their material artifacts. The title refers to the plant amaranth, whose flowers never wilt, evoking the persistence of these "uncomfortable objects."
