MusA-467Description
The wall is torn by fenestrations, from where you can see claustrophobically caged human silhouettes. The texture of the walls is rough, covered in shapes that sometimes look like ‘griffins’ and sometimes like impregnated moss. The windows are corrupted, with spotted glass and thick black frames. The engraving contains three main visual sets. A first, strong one, which runs lengthways along the top of the work, made up of three windows adjoining each other, from which we can see, in each one, three bodies, standing, placed front and back. Each head is blackened and faceless.A second set, visually lighter, appears as a strip connected to the previous one. Below each window of the first set, a vertical axis ‘virtually’ extends to structure each body, which serves as a visual support to generate human silhouettes encapsulated within cubicles associated with the second group. Each of these cubicles is spaced apart and cut horizontally by a line that divides both the bodies and the print into two halves. A third, smaller visual element, centred at the bottom of the print, appears in isolation. It represents a rectangle, surrounded by a black shadow, where the reflection of a human bust is drawn in straight, intersecting grooves.
