"Absolute Exit"
By Maria Matienko
The project "Absolute Exit" is a search for a way out of the labyrinth of the inner-outer matrix. All works of this project are created by a ballpoint pen on A4 office paper. This is a matrix of the same type of elements. This is background from 36 sheets of A4 glued with scotch tape into a single surface of 180x127 cm or repeatedly printed on A4 one of the works of this cycle. In addition, currently drawing with a ballpoint pen on office paper - this is a real way to made art work in difficult martial law.
