Among videos, stills, fabrics and serigraphs, the engine of this room is the drawing, the most delicate part of his work, that articulates the perception of the surroundings with the free ramblings and associations of thought. When drawing with brush and ink, converge calligraphy, annotation, scribble and movement; born there figures who have something of ideogram, calligram, hieroglyph and petroglyph. Magnified and multiplied by screen printing in vibrant colors on equally colored fabrics, the drawings make, from the wall or the cave, scores of rhythms of repetition and movement. In the video, the process is reversed: the camera slides over the surface of any objects that reflect traces of electronic lights; images and traces appear as if the camera were in a trance and was a vehicle for the emergence of the drawing.
