Collective works
Greta Rusttt — is an art collective working in collaborative projects with different artists, writers, and designers. Founded in 2013 by Daniela Hermosilla and Micol Favini is now based between Berlin (D) and Valdivia (CL).
In the context of the virtual times we live in, Greta Rusttt focuses on the role of books and editions in today's society. Her work contemplates the infinite capacities of printed publications as a social, political and artistic object.
Keywording (post) Contemporary Art — "If you prefer to talk about the things you make as projects instead of artworks, if you prefer to talk about turns instead of changes, and especially, if you are one of those contemporary-art-lingo-junkies always in search of new ways of expressing yourself, then this is the book for you."
Based on a true story.

Dear Reader — Dear Reader states that, in public places (such as libraries, bookstores or flea markets), the book also takes a collective function of mediation within the audience.
This project consists of spreading messages directly to people, by distributing letters in-between the pages of the books in random bookshops or libraries. Each envelope is addressed to the reader with the sentence "Dear Reader", transforming him/her into an active audience.

The Ghostwriter Project — The Ghostwriter Project is an action carried out simultaneously by writers, designers, performers and visual artists from around the world. It is a visible /invisible intervention on already existing books, whose goal is to bring the attention back to them, by proposing a different approach to the writing and the reading.
The new authors intervened the books with an invisible ink pen, visible only by means of a uv light. Once the books were finished, Greta Rusttt recollected and marked them, organised an exhibition, and finally returned them to their initial circulation. This action was repeated with different books.
