Abstract
Week after week, a strip of tape is randomly placed on a copper and lead sheet to prevent its oxidation. After a year, the 52 tapes are removed and their traces become visible. Exposed to air again, they begin to fade. It's a painting with time, a negotiation between the visible, the invisible and the things we remember. The work is a diary and a memory of what a painting could be.
