Fiberglass, Paper, Transfers of Mayan writing
5 pieces,  Variable measurements.
Edition of 6
This work is a sort of historical trompe l'oeil, for unlike the almost disposable text we encounter in the thousands of newspapers published daily around the world, these five pages have been printed with a considerable sample of the Mayan calligraphy known until now. Each text in this newspaper, regardless of its banality, has withstood the time and devastation entailed by the Spanish conquest, becoming a fragment of information whose current importance is in many cases totally disproportionate to its original intent.
