Un final.

This publication compiles final phrases from a selection of 68 books. The last sentence of a book determines the compression of all the preceding pages — it is the point the reading moves toward, and around which the narrative speculates until then. This piece explores the meaning of an ending and the way it is approached, creating a new story from those final strikes.

Produced with the Guasch Coranty Foundation Creation Grant in 2018, it was exhibited in the show Support, Sediment, Limit at the Àngels Barcelona gallery, and presented at Open Studio Madrid in February 2019. It is part of the artist’s book collection at the Library of the Faculty of Fine Arts at UCM, and of the Marcablanca Library in Madrid.

At the end of 2020, A final was republished under the Chiquita Edicions label and was selected as a finalist for the 2020 Bob Calle Prix du livre d’artiste for Best European Artist’s Book.
