Ennesima

Guilio Paolini

Ennesima

description

Four separate 4-page pamphlets enclosed in folder. "Ennesima has three elements : writing, image and time. The writing here is eschewing all communication, retains nothing but its appearance and describes nothing but itself. The drawing is only the definition of the surface of the page. Time removes still more meanings from both writing and drawing. The first page is already the last, while the last is still the first; the sequence completes the circle. G.P." --From Paolini Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam & MOMA Oxford cat. 1980.
