                                                                Over the past twenty-five years, Ximena Labra has developed a way of intervening in public space that engenders both a tale about society and a critique of symbols. Featuring a range of texts by Cuauhtémoc Medina, José Luis Barrios and Bef, this book surveys her supernatural and carnivalesque aesthetics of sacrifice, reviewing her interventions. This volume is a celebration in which art activates the common imaginary and redefines sociability by constantly bringing everyday life to play.
