NOTE:
Intertwining coloured cardboard and photocopies applied to a panel, the phrase Le rien n’existe pas, the French translation of ‘Il nulla non c’è’, repeated four times. The artwork was inspired by the Bogdanov brothers’ theories on the universe, similar to other works produced for Mauri’s ‘L’universo d’uso’ solo exhibition at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome (inv. 638, 639).
