Also, her artistic proposal focuses on the reflection of the ideologically constructed conditions that things-objects appear in our current culture. Castillo Deball’s interest on different scientific, anthropological and archaeological disciplines is reflected in her work by gathering and re-signifying elements that oppose or combine the different languages of these fields. For Liverpool Biennial 2016, Mariana Castillo Deball participates with a piece titled To-day July 9th, which comprises a newspaper publication --date that gives name to the piece and which coincides with the Biennial door opening to the public--, and an 'infinite modular structure' shaped as a movable staircase, where visitors can sit and read or play. The idea of the newspaper is fed with a compilation of fictional texts and archives edited by the artist, which viewers can take freely, participating in a game of past-present-future time. Among her recent solo exhibitions are included: Parergon, Hamburger Bahhof, Berlin, Germany (2014); What we caught we threw away, what we didn’t catch we kept, CCA Glasgow, Scotland (2013); Unconfortable Objetcs, Zurich Art Prize, Museum Haus Knstruktiv, Zurich, Switzerland (2012). She has participated in different biennials as: the 8th Berlin Biennial for Contemporary Art, Berlin, Germany (2014); the 54th Biennale di Venezia, Venice, Italy (2011); and the 2th Athens Biennale, Athens, Greece (2009).
