CAPULUS
Capulus, stainless steel, 2001-14
Capulus is an articulation. The
nature of an articulation is to enable connections and movement. Solid bodies
but endowed with malleability, Capulusarticulates the architectural space in which it is contained. It rests on the
plane of the walls and is drawn by the emptiness of space. It would not be
incorrect to say that these shapes sew the solidity of the walls to the air and
the emptiness. And it is only as a body of articulation that it becomes work. Capulus recalls an action of the
drawing, a line in categorical affirmation and that gives the absence to the
condition of the body. Capulusrecalls scriptural operations, notably those that rely on minimal conjunctions
to open up to a myriad of meanings.
