Momentary Monument is Turin-based artist Lara Favaretto’s first artist’s book, an extension of her project of the same title, which was shown as part of the exhibition Making Worlds / Fare Mondi in the 53rd Venice Biennial, curated by Daniel Birnbaum. Including texts by Daniel Birnbaum and Chris Sharp, this publication expands the project shown at the Venice Biennial. It is divided into three parts: Momentary Monument I depicts the swamp as the core element of the first artist book by Lara Favaretto. Beginning with how a swamp is created, the second part tells the stories of twenty disappeared individuals, while the third part focuses on the change of the landscape, that surrounds the swamp.
