Present is a Burning Building @ Galerie Dukan – Paris
Present is a burning building groups a series of diverse pieces (partial resultants) that compose an uncertain and unbalanced equation developed during walks, derives, exchanges, an observations along the hollows and fissures of a collapsing system.
