Bamba

The Bamba Collection consists of paintings copied from the photographic registration of sculptures, installations and videos found in contemporary art publications. Each work has for title the page number from the book in which the work was copied from. This collection gives LiMAC the possibility to exhibit significant contemporary art works to its visitors. Due to the scarce importation of foreign goods throughout the 60´s and 70´s, Peru developed a large economy of fake and altered clothing brands, books and other goods known as Bamba products. Today this copy culture still is widely present.
