Overview
This exhibition shares a personal, almost secret space, the space of freedom that exists in the very act of drawing. Lines on paper, which abandon this condition to relate to space, where, far from wanting to represent anything, they seek to establish spatial relationships through geometry. They are objects that result from constructing lines in the air, of the same thickness as the pencil stroke that had fixed them on the paper; lines that recognize themselves, or each other, simply by affinity. By overlapping, they may, perhaps, suggest passable places; other times, most of them will simply have no purpose.
Its reality is no longer found on paper, nor in the real world. These lines do not want to be, nor suggest an identifiable space, but rather express this space of doubt, a space of freedom, in short.
