This book by Felipe Ehrenberg, the “neologist” par excellence, is the result of a first retrospective of his work: the work of a multidisciplinary visual artista who does not cease to explore, from painting to performance to different digital media. These pieces play with —or reinvent— elements of kitsch, violence, popular culture, humor, and eroticism, offering an overview of fifty years of Ehrenberg’s artistic career.
Published under a joint imprint of Diamantina with RM, this volume is extraordinary not only for its content but also for its magnificent design. The way it took shape is no less fascinating: “I don’t believe in being baroque”, says the artist, “but I chose Manchuria because it shares the “M” with México; you could have green, white, and green like a soldier’s fatigues… everyone has heard of Manchuria, but few know where it is… just like my work.”
