Santiago Borja - Mas bien sombra | Processing Process

In 'The Savage Mind', Claude Levi-Strauss likened magic to a forward-moving shadow, a prescient projection of its origin - a coherent system rather than a "primitive stage" of scientific development. Tracking and departing from these specters, in the publication 'Mas bien sombra' artist Santiago Borja insists on a plurality of knowledge forms, challenging the primacy of ethical and aesthetic experience in social and political formations. The book features Borja's site-specific work and visual essays, interspersed with texts by eight authors, fostering reflection on our complex historical issues and advocating for a multiplicity of perspectives in resistance against absolutist versions of reality.
