THREE ACTS / A VISUAL READING

WHEN MATTER REMEMBERS.

An editorial reading through the artist’s works, not a quotation attributed to him.

01 / THE OBJECT

AL BURAK

THE IMPOSSIBLE ANIMAL.

A form assembled from fragments, suspended between evidence and imagination. The familiar becomes strange.

PAINTING
