Manifiesto blanco perforado [Pierced white manifesto]

I carefully transcribed the Manifiesto blanco by Lucio Fontana. I erased each of its letters, strictly leaving the dots and commas in its corresponding places. I transferred them on a led light fixture and later pierced them with gravers and drills from side to side. There is something that escapes from the idea of being named, something that dilutes between words and doesn’t fit in its own container. A language that gets out of control, with which it is possible to experiment the void in the words, though not from the hole of the unspeakable, but from somewhere else. Manifiesto blanco perforado exposes the imposition of order that arises from language, and by doing it, delves into the empty space that inhabits between things.
