This work belongs to the series I Read It with Golden Fingers, which consists in reading a book with fingers smirched in gold. The books from this series have been carefully selected and are part of the artist's private library that has informed her work along the years. From holding the book to passing the pages, all the gestures of reading leave a golden trace, tattooing the books with reading trails, sometimes to the point of illegibility. For this exhibition, the book is The Most Foreign Country (1955), Alejandra Pizarnik’s debut collection of poems. Written when she was nineteen years old, the poems reflect on the solitude of the poetic self, the longing for artistic depth, and the tenuous nearness of death.
