Mariana Castillo Deball’s To-day 9th of July 2016 is part of the Monuments from the Future episode. It is a large-scale sculpture: an infinite staircase built for a character who can jump across the same date in different years throughout history. The title coincides with the date on which Liverpool Biennial 2016 opens to the public, but it also references other 9th July events across time. An accompanying newspaper, which can be found across all exhibition sites, contains found news stories from many different 9th of Julys. Castillo Deball began this work in 2005, and it will be completed after 365 editions.
