Open Play, Forgetting Eye
Employing the methodology of the Surrealist “exquisite corpse,” this work is a way to play at “linking forgotten images.” When we draw pictures day after day, we sometimes forget the pictures we draw some days earlier. With the use of a sliding black support, pictures are connected together at random to produce new images. (Source: ALIMO)
