About the work
Other Wild Papers/ Otros papeles salvajes
Installation
A door-to-door tour of the town, Other Wild Papers is a search for oral memory of what a book is, a request for help, materials and support for the construction of a new form, and the question of what that territory will be like when the people who inhabit it are no longer there.
