In Belleza del otro mundo, Alberto Ruiz de Samaniego overviews the origins of sculpture, focusing the meaning of representation in the concealment of the living and a yearning for eternity. The author argues that death is the principle of representation and that the ultimate raison d¿être of sculpture is a search for memory. Embracing everything from the ka of Egyptian mythology to Marcel Duchamp¿s readymade, his systematic analysis is sustained on a rethinking of the concepts of life and death and of reality and representation.
