Tempera on unprimed canvas, primed canvas, nylon thread

190 x 180 cm (two parts: 190 x 180 cm, 19 x 18 cm)

Private collection, Paris

Dropping straight down to the centre of a large primed canvas is a small unprimed one, hanging from a nylon thread. At the center of this second canvas is a small square painted with white tempera, which repeats or recalls in miniature the primed canvas. The succession of the three elements is echoed in the triple repetition of the same syllable in the title.
