Through a study of palaeontology in Morocco, the artist asks how history can be fabricated.\u003cbr\u003eThe catalogue takes the form of two artist books: one by Yto Barrada and the other developed in collaboration with the shortlisted artists. Together, they form a sculptural object, layered one upon the other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e232p in 2 volumes - EN\/ARAB - 27x20cm \u0026amp; 23x16cm - 2 softcover - perfect condition (sealed)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barrada Yto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53691439677776,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0456\/9491\/0623\/files\/IMG_4200_6fe33de5-feb2-422d-adef-4fa58ce45397.jpg?v=1790426056","url":"https:\/\/saint-martin-bookshop.com\/products\/yto-barrada-before-history-sternberg-press-2015","provider":"Saint-Martin Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
