Visually tracing and detailing an international artistic trajectory and practice spanning over thirty years, the book iliana emilia García: The Reason/The Object/The Word reveals the artist's multidisciplinary engagement with our contemporary global world through a personal vocabulary where image, gesture, word, and object are transformed to explore memory and emotional spaces. In her drawings, paintings, sculptures, installations, prints, video art, and photography, García reveals a deep visual search for the sentiments and poetics of existence through significant themes of absence, loss, dislocation, settlement.

Richly illustrated in color, the volume features artworks executed from the late 1980s to her most recent installations and large-scale paintings, providing a fascinating visual record of a brilliant artistic corpus.

The book combines scholarly readings and interpretations of her art with essays by Olga U. Herrera, Paula Gómez Jorge, Ana Cristina Perry, Iliana Ubiñas Renville de García; an interview of the artist by Alejandro Anreus; and the artist's writings.
