FUEGO FATUO SERIES
How can I escape from my immediate surrounding, my personal field, the shelter of my shadow…?
The action of setting myself in the middle of a long sheet of paper, tearing the paper with my fingers at a reachable distance from my body and finally taking away the cut out surface, produces as evidence a void on the paper.
