Description
Grimanesa Amorós Ocupante is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersection of social history, scientific research, and critical theory. Her large-scale light-sculpture installations often draw upon Peruvian cultural legacies from her childhood.
This book brings together a selection of works by Amorós, including notable installations in her Huanchaco series, such as GOLDEN WATERS (2015) and PINK LOTUS (2015). The artist's use of sculpture, video, and lighting creates works that illuminate our concepts of personal identity and community.
The book showcases three key installations: OCUPANTE (2016), a light-sculpture installation; GOLDEN SECRET ROOM (2016), featuring six limited-edition photographs; and other notable works from Amorós's practice, highlighting the dynamic balance between urban and natural essence.
