Benoit Maire — Prolègomènes à toute image plièe
Benoit Maire

Prolègomènes à toute image plièe

A zinc panel serves as the cool, industrial ground for Maire's precise silkscreen markings, merging the language of philosophy with the materiality of print. The work engages with ideas of the folded image—borrowing its title from Kantian discourse on prolegomena—to question the conditions of possibility for visual representation itself. Surface and concept collapse into one another, as the metallic substrate becomes both medium and argument.
