Marilyn Boror Bor is a Maya-Kaqchikel artist who works in multiple media including photography, painting, printmaking, installation and performance, with language and its inherent cosmovision being important concepts in her work. This selection from the series Dictionary of Forgotten Objects, consists of photos, definitions and contextualization of words, concepts and objects that represent a way of life and have generated a particular vocabulary within a rich and specific linguistic universe. The objects speak about trades, shapes, objects and a rhythm of life in a specific territory. In turn, these forms of life and words, like the images that represent them in the piece, fade over time, but they make us recognize, remember and appreciate the richness of a culture.
