Walls, whose worn markings and irregular surfaces seem to contain what
one mentally redesigns (Leonardo da Vinci), enjoy a mythic matrix of
meanings. Boundary of an other world and also division between
chaos and cosmos, guardians for and against someone, they separate
light and shadow, being and non-being.
The work arises as that which withdraws (Heidegger), the
work projected on a virtual wall, the wall to be
built (Duthuit), the wall with/of paintings: modulations
of the surface whose rhythm commands the composition,
the ordering of a jointing (armonia); monumentality – the
monument is that which endures in the form, as a
formula that transmits itself towards self-alienation,
that endures exposed to time and successions of
interpretations and as the residual trace of an event –
on the model of myth, its constitution and reconstitution;
Levi-Strauss’ similarity between mythopoiesis
and bricolage (Vattimo).
