Contables
Johanna Calle's *Contables* is a large-scale work composed of 30 individual sheets rendered in pencil and ink on paper. The piece reflects Calle's meticulous draftsmanship and her sustained engagement with language, labor, and systems of record-keeping, weaving together dense marks and text-based elements that evoke bureaucratic ledgers or census documents. Through repetition and fragmentation across its multiple parts, the work interrogates the ways in which human lives are counted, catalogued, and rendered legible — or invisible — by institutional structures.
