Liliana Porter: Other Situations

Five Decades of Wit, Wonder, and Theatrical Imagination

Step into the surreal, poetic world of Liliana Porter with Other Situations—the most comprehensive monograph to date on the celebrated Argentinian-born, New York–based artist. Known for her sharp humor and profound simplicity, Porter blurs the lines between reality and fiction across media including printmaking, photography, sculpture, and performance.

This richly illustrated book documents her landmark 2017 exhibition at the SCAD Museum of Art and its 2018 presentation at El Museo del Barrio in New York. Featuring over thirty works and two videos, the catalog offers a nonlinear journey through Porter’s artistic evolution from 1969 to 2018—culminating in the inclusion of her groundbreaking theatrical piece, Them, commissioned specially for the show.

With insightful texts, rare archival materials, and stunning visuals, Liliana Porter: Other Situations invites readers to explore the playfulness and depth of an artist who has spent over five decades challenging how we see and make meaning of the world around us.

A must-have for fans of contemporary art, Latin American voices, and boundary-breaking creativity.
