Through a collage of reflections and definitions, the author constructs a character who examines what is tarnished and damaged by use, finding life in the frenzy. Based on real events, the book becomes an inquiry into artistic creation and the beauty hidden in the insignificant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is presented as a performative and literary exploration of the figure of the \"inspector of old linoleums.\" Starting from an almost bureaucratic definition of the term—breaking down \"inspector,\" \"of,\" \"linoleum,\" and \"old\"—the author weaves a reflection on art, obsolescence, and the creator's gaze. This is not a linear narrative, but a fragmentary text that, based on real events, examines the practice of one who recognizes and examines what is worn down by time, finding in it fertile material for creation. It is an inquiry into the value of the useless and the gesture of the artist who positions themselves outside of practical utility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe figure of the artist as an \"inspector\" of the discarded and the old.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe reclamation of uselessness and irresponsibility as engines of creation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe beauty and aesthetic potential of objects and materials worn down by use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between language, definition, and the construction of an artistic reality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe practice of the creative autopsy as a method for examining life and art.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in experimental literature, performative essays, and reflection on creative processes.

Its value lies in the ability to turn an everyday, worn-out object into the starting point for a meditation on art and existence. It is a book that will challenge those who seek a literature that not only tells a story, but also questions and performs its own meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EDICIONES LA UÑA ROTA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407428018523,"sku":"9788418782275","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841878227.jpg?v=1781855481","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788418782275","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
