That part of the concept corresponding to the wrist, 2023

The final work in the sequence used for this exhibition is the linguistic readymade That part of the concept corresponding to the wrist (2023), consisting of a line from a poem by the US-American writer Ben Lerner. It has been applied across a whole wall using a stencil. This text fragment is placed at a juncture where the exhibition and the divergence of its individual works between concept and implementation is echoed by the image of the wrist. Otherwise, this readymade remains vague, open, and ambiguous, just like all the other works.
