An alphabet of 10,000 elements, cut out of self adhesive archival paper
Detail
The challenge was to conceive a project that could travel in a carry-on suitcase and unfold on the walls like a .zip file, a portable infinite able to expand slowly during months prior to the inauguration. The diminutive papers are disseminated or connected following the specific traffic rules and syntax dictated by any accumulation of sediments. A paper skin with no letters, or handwriting, free from messages, displayed slowly, according to no previous plan, on the walls of the Uruguayan pavilion. The colonies of paper sticker on the walls enter in dialogue with a custom lighting track provided by Erco. Myriads of high-definition shadows and infinitesimal incandescent projections will aim to slow down the viewer.
The project divides the act of drawing in two stages. First, by cutting an alphabet of 10,000 elements during the course of 2014 in New York, and second by using the precut elements to write on the pavilion walls during the Spring of 2015.
