Los modelos son reales

Synopsis of Los modelos son reales

«Los modelos son reales» is Olafur Eliasson's art theory essay, published by Editorial Gustavo Gili in paperback (32 pages, in Spanish).

Starting from a reflection by Olafur Eliasson, the book argues that the traditional relationship between reality and representation has changed: we no longer move from model to reality, but from model to model, and both are real. Thus, the model and reality cease to be opposite poles, and models become co-producers of reality.

The book, published in 2009, is part of the GG mínima collection. It includes two essays translated into Spanish by Moisés Puente.

Aimed at those interested in contemporary art, architecture, and the theory of representation.
