1964-65
Mira Schendel's delicate monotype on translucent rice paper is suspended between two sheets of Plexiglas, allowing light to pass through and animate the work's subtle marks and gestures. Created during a pivotal period in the Brazilian-Swiss artist's career, the piece reflects her deep engagement with language, materiality, and the fragile threshold between presence and absence. The near-weightless quality of the rice paper, held within its rigid transparent enclosure, creates a tension between vulnerability and preservation.
