  • Catalogue Essay

    ‘My works arise out of changing forms of collaboration. I am interested in primary things like the alphabet, maps, newspapers – not least because of sudden spanning of order and disorder. Everything has its own precise order, even if this order is realised in a disorderly manner.’ - Alighiero Boetti
