Mariana Deisler (daughter of the author and artist) and editors Francisca García and Paulina Varas present a work of research and documentation that academic Sergio Rojas (2014) defines as "an act of restoration of the memory" of Guillermo Deisler (b. Chile 1940-1995), a scarcely known Chilean artist whose diverse artwork includes texts, documents, objects, photographs, engravings, including mail-art and and visual poetry. The book comprises extensive articles about the work of Guillermo Deisler and a biography that includes his practices ranging from (self) management, experimentation, production and editorial design, and political activism. A second methodological section is about the process of organization of the file (a project lead by Wenke Adam and Soledad Pozo), and a final note by Soledad Bianchi. Project financed with contributions from Fondart, summon 2012.
