This second monograph on the work of artist Tirzo Martha features his newest artworks, mixed media performances, and installations. It focuses on the eponymous series of some 30 near-white works produced between 2021 and 2022. The works were created after Martha was admitted to hospitals in Colombia and Curaçao in 2018, following a heart infection. The monochrome installations mark a turning point in the socially engaged artist’s oeuvre, and were presented at the Curaçao Museum in 2022. Texts by Adi Martis and Rob Perrée elaborate on the themes in this series, while curator Sjors Bindels talks to Martha about his position as an artist in the Netherlands and Curaçao.
