A piece of art can be seen as a
materialised communication between artist and the onlooker. But is it possible
to imagine an artwork being something in itself? The autonomy of an artwork is
a recurring object of discussion; one imagines a force not relying on
circumstances of preconceived knowledge. This artwork is a proposal for such a
completely independent sculpture. Unfortunately its absolute autonomy prevents
us from conceiving any sense from it. We might postulate that an artwork’s
innate power works opposite to its communicative meaning.
