The miracle of life happens within a box. We are boxes that craft life, create life, where we store our vital organs. The box is an archetypal form that any artist feels really comfortable with. I don\u0026rsquo;t think that only contemporary art has dealt with boxes. From ancient times the box has cast a spell on man. Pandora\u0026rsquo;s box. The box is always there. It\u0026rsquo;s in myths in one form or another. We see it in our visions. It\u0026rsquo;s in our bodies when we speak of the cranium, the most wonderful box in the universe, until we find another species with a better one. It\u0026rsquo;s there! It also refers to protection, to the womb. I think that contemporary art has taken this to incredible extremes, and there are artists who have used it in all their works, like the minimalists.\u0026rdquo;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(Fern\u0026aacute;ndez, S.S., Que le importa al Tigre una\u0026nbsp;Raya M\u0026aacute;s: The Futility of Good Intentions, 2014, p.153.)\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBooks:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeporello book:\u0026nbsp;23 cm (x 11.5 cm) x 220 cm\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotebook:\u0026nbsp;Untitled, 2002,\u0026nbsp;20 cm x 18.5 cm (20 pages)\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;Om\u0026nbsp;een gesloten behuizing te hebben, om al die elementen te\u0026nbsp;controleren \u0026ndash; wat is er beter dan een doos?
