The reassuring recognition of the subjects is betrayed by the benzodiazepines that dilute the inks used. The coherence between the elements portrayed is sacrificed in favor of a fragmented and inconsistent syntax proper to the occasions when things get out of hand and the circumstances in which what is expected and what happens do not coincide. Two children’s books from the artist’s archive testify to the impossibility of the “definitive word” on the concepts of error and truth, and the necessity of their perpetual redefinition in time.
