In this edition, Jannis Kounellis employs elemental, culturally charged materials such as iron, coal, and fire – central elements of his oeuvre. The three sheets are almost entirely blackened with dense charcoal hatching, creating a profound sense of materiality. Placed upon them are folded newspapers, also blackened – an act of deliberate erasure of information that simultaneously generates a new, enigmatic visual language. Through the layering of mediated content and raw matter, Kounellis explores the tension between the written and the unspoken, documentation and forgetting, visibility and concealment.
