Abstract

36 black moving squares on black surface reveal only on close look emerging out of the superblack deepness. Conciliating the boundaries between the visible and the invisible, the static and the kinetic, and the predictable with the unexpected, this work puts Malevich 'pure perception' into nowadays perspective.
