Description:
Artist's book with a great variety of personal theories from ordinairy people. Beltrán drew his inspiration from micro-history, a genre in cultural history that focuses on personal stories and apparently minor events, sketching a picture of a culture or mentality of a particular period. 'Our view of the world is determined not just by what we have learned about the world or even what we have actually experienced, ' Beltrán explains. 'It consists to a large extent of suspicions, makeshift connections and personal interpretations.'
