FLOR DE ROCA
FLOWER ROCK
Winner project of the Grant for Independent Editorial Projects IDARTES 2020-Colombia
First publication of Simulacro Ediciones
Flor de Roca proposes an exercise in the search for (the life around) emeralds, tracing a journey through the
mystery that surrounds the stone, focusing on the guaquería as a mining practice on the way to extinction.
The passing of the pages symbolizes the earth movement carried out by the guaqueros in search of emeralds.
It is a book that allows the readers to trace that piece of land through the use of intonso, and find the images
that would lead them on a journey.
