that is the newest Johan Rijpam work (already a clasic in loquemirasynoves): a piece of paper divided by hand into an even number of pieces and then reassembled. A photograph of this finished composition is then printed and divided again. This makes the impossible possible, tearing the now included empty
spaces that make up the tears in the paper. This feedback division
process is repeated while the number of imprecise manual divisions
gradually increase. Everything is created by division.
The artist says that "rather than developing a pattern in a typical fashion with the addition of lines or spaces to an empty plane, the entire piece has been created on the premise of subtraction as he
explores the paradox 'everything is created by division'."
