Abstract

Abstract: "Unidad del mundo" [Unity of the World] is a visual poetry artwork by José Antonio Cáceres that was made from 1972 to 1974, at a key point in the decade spanning 1966-1976 when he produced the bulk of his experimental poetry. It explores the overarching theme expressed in the title –the unity of the world– from a human perspective through the phenomena of reality. The visual narrative that it creates takes viewers on a journey from the macrocosmic to the microcosmic, travelling through the landscapes of the worlds that make up José Antonio Cáceres’s vision of the Unity of the World. Keywords: Unity of the World [Unidad del mundo]. José Antonio Cáceres. Visual poetry. Experimental narrative.
