IIIIIIIIIIII
2008-2009
Solo show, galerie de Multiples
IIIIIIIIIIII is a project specifically conceived for and with the Galerie de Multiples, which unfolded throughout 2008, each month proposing a new work presented in the gallery’s office. The twelve multiples, which make up a formally heterogeneous ensemble but conceal a subterranean coherence based on the notion of temporality, were presented at an exhibition in January 2009.
