La cieca e totale obbedienza della parallela (The Blind and Total Obedience of the Parallel)
A vibrant screenprint by the Italian Arte Povera artist Alighiero Boetti, this work features his characteristic use of bold, repeating patterns and geometric arrangements that explore themes of order, system, and seriality. The composition plays with the concept of parallelism as a form of rigid, unquestioning conformity, rendered through Boetti's signature interplay of color and structured visual logic. The title's provocative language — evoking blindness and total obedience — infuses the work's formal precision with a subtle philosophical tension between freedom and constraint.
