I am working on the observation that any concept has the tendency to occupy a virtual area larger than its physical manifestations. I am interested in presenting this space, by finding its limits and exploring its nature. I am assuming that virtual limits of a sign reside in the point of raw materialization of another sign and I follow this route, back and forward, between text, painting, drawing and action marks (visible in such details as the deterioration of the interior after many years of use and abandonment or as the texture the constructors made with hammers in order to prepare the wall to receive the new coatings).
