It consists of five hundred books, numbered and signed by the<br>artist, which, in addition to their treatments by the artist, include images of the works<br>presented at the Museo Moderno of Buenos Aires in 2017, a curatorial text by Sof\u00eda<br>Dourron and a biography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Reflecting on the copy as the driving force of his work, Soriano says: \u201cWe live in<br>societies where the copy is disdained because people forget that originality doesn\u2019t<br>exist, there are only inaccurate copies. In the gap between a thing and its copy lie<br>factors that are beyond our control and these little uncertainties determine the course<br>of my artworks.\u201d Just as a ghost is never the same as its past but always embodies<br>something else, in Soriano a copy is not an inferior product but a pure creative act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Sof\u00eda Dourron<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The exhibition&nbsp;<em>Hern\u00e1n Soriano: How to Mentally Form a Machine<\/em>&nbsp;was presented at the museum<br>from 26 October 2016 until 19 February 2017<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9923,"template":"","class_list":["post-9922","libros","type-libros","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/libros\/9922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/libros"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/libros"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/libros\/9922\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
