The first monograph dedicated to Venezuelan artist Lucía PizzaniÆs production from the last fifteen years features new texts that approach her practice from ideas regarding nature and culture, migration and geopolitics, artÆs relation to scientific disciplines, and the artistÆs overall attention to the impermanence and mutability of living forms and their political inscription in the world. As Nicolas Bourriaud writes, ôIn PizzaniÆs work, the image links different states of matter, an intermediate between sun and vegetation, fire and earth, animate and inanimate. For her, plants show themselves from the onset to be libidinal connections within a vital network, and art as an erotica of living surfaces.ö
