THE ARTWORK
In Marco Gastini’s Lettera C, a constellation of small marks crosses the lower area of the light field. Their distribution leaves broad pauses, making empty space an essential part of the reading. The composition reveals itself gradually through minimal shifts and differences in density.
The 1974 screenprint, from the portfolio A,B,C,D,E-F, retains an intimate, silent scale. The reference to a letter does not impose a recognisable form: instead, it invites attention to how a mark can occupy the surface. The eye passes among the traces, finding a rhythm of delicate presences and intervals.
