Giulio Paolini on this diptych edition: "All my works revolve around a diaphragm implicit in the image – like an ideal mirror that reflects and reveals the appearance which constitute it. The two prints Chiaroscuro (light-dark) represent two different versions of the same image; a black spot on a white sheet (La Sainte-Vierge by Francis Picabia, 1920) and a white spot on a black sky (fireworks from a photograph by Paolo Mussat Sartor). The first image frames the second and vice versa."
