Spanning 120 pages, including 23 documents that serve as markers, the book selects and arranges diverse materials into a continuous sequence based on four case studies: Faux départs: Mariaratz\/Arkaka [also known as “video of the dam”], Villas Vascas, Fourteen-Years-Old-Runaway-Boy and Txitxarro\/Bolueta Front 242. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eAs in his video works, here the relationships established by Garmendia between diverse materials –photographs, stills, texts, photocopies– and the unique sequencing of the book’s contents –from the Basque landscapes and architecture to the nighttime recording of a body inside a car or the series of photographs taken in the Txitxarro nightclub– allow for multiple readings. We bear witness to a series of events, some real and some enacted, whose meaning is disrupted. Faced with the aesthetic and referential universe created by Garmendia, the reader’s perception is key in establishing a narrative that gives them continuity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe book also includes a fifth case study presented separately as an annex: a series of images of the intervention and exhibition project “Tramar lo gótico.

Video, music, youth subcultures and certain industrial products heighten the tension between the different readings of his work. His processes often begin with the creation of derivatives, versions of cultural objects to which he remains secretly attached and on which he works following a logic of attrition. This is most apparent in his video production over the past 20 years. The extensive footage with which he typically presents his works seems to plunge us into the very event captured by the camera. Despite this, his works remain opaque, void of a traditional narrative, and exist within some sort of abstraction reminiscent of one of the most basic principles of expanded cinema. Furthermore, his tendency towards punk-derived aesthetics lends a certain resistance to orality to his work. Overall, Garmendia’s works avoid an immediate ascription of meaning and reject the instrumentalization of presignified images and scenes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eISBN: 978-84-09-61775-3\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eFirst edition, Dalpine, 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImages \u0026amp; editing: Iñaki Garmendia\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Pierre Hourquet\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003ePrinting: Artefacto \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eSoftcover\u003cbr\u003e120 pages + 8-page annex\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: ES;\" lang=\"ES\"\u003e29x21 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: ES;\" lang=\"ES\"\u003eLanguage: Spanish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: ES;\" lang=\"ES\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iñaki Garmendia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48970779787611,"sku":"9788409617753","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1876\/2469\/files\/CARNAGE_Dalpine_01.png?v=1727196659","url":"https:\/\/www.dalpine.com\/en-int\/products\/carnage-visor-vvv-inaki-garmendia","provider":"Dalpine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
