THE ARTWORK
In this photolithograph by Giuliano Della Casa, a small rectangle in brown and pinkish tones occupies part of the light sheet. Its internal surface is constructed from minute elements recalling masonry, keeping differences and interruptions between parts visible.
The composition rests its strength on the distance between core and margins. From afar the compact form prevails; close up, its texture introduces a more articulated movement. The eye is invited to change viewing scale, recognising how a small field can organise the perception of a much larger space.
