Nylon conceals a protruding element from a graphite-patinated iron plate, which the title suggests is a pressure gauge. This work was part of Mauri’s ‘Autobiografia come teoria’ exhibition- installation (inv. 2171), in which the artist presented compositions of objects associated with his personal history on panels of identical format and craftsmanship.
