Album (IV), 2006

Sixteen elements placed at short intervals produce the perspective drawing of a room with a table at the centre, on which there are a sketchbook, arranged so that it is upright, and some sheets emerging from the sketchbook and scattered around, some of them blank and others blackened freehand. Several actual sheets – some of them with a similar drawing filled with doodling – are applied to the frames and feature the continuation of the line drawing in pencil where they overlap the drawing; three other sheets are applied outside the “painting”, on the lower part of the wall.
In between the album – which by virtue of its nature underlies in nuce the becoming of a drawing – and the scattered sheets, the announcement of a work is overturned in its unfufillment: on the worktable, the wait for an unknown image that the author renews from one work to another is consumed in the ascertainment of its inevitable disintegration the moment it seems to manifest itself.
The work is part of a series of four homonymous works made that same year, distinguished by the progressive numbering in the title and the growing number of framed elements (GPO-0939, GPO-0940, GPO-0941, GPO-0942).
