'Questo è un taglio di vetro (201 × 135) ariano' is painted at the top of a sheet of glass some two metres high. Of considerable weight and thickness, designed to rest on the ground and lean against a wall, along with Questo schermo è ariano (inv. 332) and Dieser Koffer ist arisch (inv. 599), the work was part of the initial core of ‘Aryan objects’ that Mauri exhibited at the Fortezza da Basso fair in 1994.
