THE ARTWORK
A fine circle appears at the centre of the black field in Mirella Bentivoglio’s Coincidentia oppositorum. Two opposing profiles inhabit its perimeter, while isolated letters introduce a second level of reading. The figure can be observed as an image and, at the same time, questioned as a sign.
The 1988 screenprint rests its balance on the contrast between the dark background and the light trace. The title points towards the meeting of opposites without exhausting the composition’s possibilities. Faces, empty space and writing establish an intimate dialogue, in which a few elements acquire a particularly clear presence.
