Abstract as follows: In all his work Rodrigo Valenzuela positions contemporary art as an uprooting of superficial politics. If picturing ruins is as old as photography then its many incarnations across the political spectrum are a starting point for the artist. Much of Valenzuela's work calls attention to photographys affinity with destruction. It is a documentary mode and an embodied experience. The picturing of ruins is drawn out and contextualized in this first comprehensive catalogue of Valenzuela's Los Angeles-based studio artwork and photography. Mousse Publishing hardcover books
