ARTWORK IN CONTEST

FULL IDENTITY / ABSOLUTE FORM / TOTAL LOGIC, 2024

DESIGN - Typewriting on aluminium foil
42 x 54 x 3 cm

Language becomes a multiple sign, almost a metaphorical story, in the refined textures of Viennese artist Katharina Maria Wimmer, imprinted through meditative and regular engravings on the surface of three modules—three aluminium sheets—where the motif becomes almost an atmosphere, a dream-like sign, in an intimate vision in which the eye roams and deepens.
