Synopsis: This is a book to understand Colombian life through its most characteristic crafts objects. All sorts of utensils for daily use, to work, rest or simply admire. Artefacts to be amazed by natural beauty produced by the hands of able crafts people who turn metal, clay, stone and fibres into objects that transcend shape and become masterpieces. From common tools to ritual clothes, in an infinite array of textures, colours and unsuspected materials that enrich the wealth of the Colombian typical objects sample. This is the reflection of the youth and joy of Colombian people. They have found in their objects a new way of conveying their colourful character and of giving the task of creating hats, chairs, lamps, hammocks, among many others, the charming touch that runs through the country's veins. This is the result of a three-year collaboration between photographer Nacho Mar-n and publisher Benjam-n Villegas, this remarkable volume sets out to display traditional garments, jewellery, and ornaments of the indigenous cultures of Colombia in joyous and unprecedented abandon.Using his experience as a choreographer and costume and set designer, Mar-n has created an extraordinary series of theatrical tableaux where myth and memory, fashion and fantasy intermingle in a riot of rich colour.
