Author: Robleto, Dario
The prints, sculptures and films of Dario Robleto explore the pathos and the speculative potential of scientific inquiry. Structured around heartbeats, wavelengths and horizons, this book traces his fascinations with the cosmic boundaries of perception. Through contributions across the disciplines of musicology, anthropology, cardiology, engineering, history of science and art history, 'The Heart’s Knowledge' offers an engaging companion to Robleto’s wide-ranging work. Richly illustrated with images, the volume includes selections from his 2017 portfolio The First Time, The Heart (A Portrait of Life 1854–1913), which transforms the pulse waves of early cardiography into a gallery of vanished souls, and the astral projections in such films as The Boundary of Life is Quietly Crossed (2020).
ISBN 9781646570317. Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art. hb. 160 pages. 127 colour ills. 27.3 x 21 cm.
