{"product_id":"inframundi","title":"Inframundi","description":"\"Inframundi is a catalogue of imaginary artefacts inspired by\r\na personal story: that of a childhood spent in the presence\r\nof an ancient pre-Columbian mummy. Drawing on this\r\nformative memory, Elisa Valenzuela imagines the objects\r\none might need in the afterlife. \r\nBorn from several years of research, the project is based\r\non the study of pre-Columbian, Oceanic, and ancient art\r\ncatalogues. The artist borrows their visual and descriptive\r\nconventions and shifts them toward fiction, constructing a\r\nparallel archaeology in which imagination replaces scientific\r\nmethod.\r\nThe book unfolds in chapters that echo the major spheres of\r\nexistence: beauty, style, utensils, the rites of passage, rituals,\r\nchildhood. Each section explores the gestures, beliefs, or\r\nneeds one might wish to carry into another world. Combs,\r\nsound amulets, ritual shoes, domestic tools, or articulated\r\ntoys form an ideal funerary collection—plausible, yet entirely\r\nimagined.\r\nInframundi questions what objects retain from ourselves:\r\ngestures, beliefs, bonds, fragilities. In this re-invented\r\nafterlife, they emerge as figure—companions, markers, or\r\nguides—extending what ties us to the world. The project\r\nexplores the malleability of memory and archaeological\r\nnarrative, showing how a story can be reshaped differently.\r\nCreated through a dialogue between artistic gestures and\r\nartificial intelligence, these artefacts adopt the codes of\r\nancient relics while opening a fictional territory where new\r\nnarratives can emerge.\"","brand":"Antenne Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52282619035986,"sku":"AB8514","price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/0062\/5490\/files\/AB8514-inframundi-03_1464e747-ae52-4baa-a12a-efc91aa06be0.jpg?v=1775562392","url":"https:\/\/antennebooks.com\/en-eu\/products\/inframundi","provider":"Antenne Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
