Tan funesto deseo

Synopsis of Tan funesto deseo

«Tan funesto deseo» is the essay on art theory and photography by Domingo Sánchez Blanco, published by the Junta de Castilla y León in paperback.

The book documents an exhibition by Domingo Sánchez Blanco with pieces from actions and installations, centred on his obsession with the painter and writer Pierre Klossoswski: he drives across Europe to ask for his ashes when he has not yet died, and later deposits them in the Morelle Mausoleum Museum. The works pile up like objects in an attic.

Published in June 2006 by the Regional Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Junta de Castilla y León, with technical coordination by Manuel Zarza Martín; 448 pages.

For readers interested in art theory, photography and aesthetics, with curiosity for experimental proposals based on actions and installations.
