Hermosilla holds a Ph.D in Art History. Her dissertation focuses on strategies for visual representation of memory in contemporary art, addressing the artist’s book as case of study. The thesis, directed by Professor Anna Maria Guasch, proposes the artist’s book as a creative process and container of memory, questioning the coherence between collective memory in a global context and its influence on the contemporary artistic memory‐practice. She is involved in different artistic and editorial projects.
