Ordo Amoris Cabinet ‘The Gabinete Ordo Amoris’ by Orlando Hernández –1999
There are many ways in which to understand the life of a country and many ways to explain it. One of these – and the only one of interest to us here – is through the observation and study of its every day objects, these being of great significance to some, of none to others.
