Camila Ramírez's Vida Útil: 15 Years of Art, Play, and Work in Chile

Camila Ramírez presents Vida Útil, an artist's publication that gathers 25 projects spanning from 2009 to 2024, focusing on themes of art, play, and labor. This visual essay is divided into three chapters—Rojo, Juego, Caída—and includes archival photographs, annotations, and artworks, complemented by critical writings from Chilean scholars. The initiative seeks to encapsulate 15 years of artistic development, reflecting on history, politics, memory, and future perspectives in Chile. Supported by the Fondo Nacional de Desarrollo Cultural y las Artes, the initial print run consists of 200 copies, produced by Ograma in Santiago de Chile in 2026. It also contains previously unpublished writings by Soledad García Saavedra, Vania Montgomery, and others, exploring the theme of duelo (mourning).
