Rivane Neuenschwander

One Thousand and One Possible Nights [N. 51-55]

Rivane Neuenschwander's *One Thousand and One Possible Nights [N. 51-55]* is a five-part paper collage work that weaves together fragments of cut and layered paper to evoke the episodic, accumulative nature of storytelling. Drawing on the spirit of the ancient Arabian Nights narrative tradition, the work suggests an endless unfolding of possibilities, with each panel functioning as a chapter in an open-ended visual tale. Neuenschwander's delicate, intimate approach transforms humble paper materials into a meditation on imagination, chance, and the infinite potential of narrative.
