Cinque x cinque venticinque
1988
A vibrant grid of embroidered squares fills the composition, each cell bursting with intricate geometric patterns and bold colors arranged in a precise five-by-five formation. Boetti's characteristic use of Afghan craftswomen's needlework transforms the mathematical simplicity of multiplication into a richly tactile and visually complex textile work. The piece reflects his enduring fascination with order and chance, systems of knowledge, and the collaborative blurring of authorship between artist and maker.
