Watercolour on paper

Since 1991, the working method of this serial artist has been governed by a strictly coded ritual: one watercolour a week, always the same size, “corresponding to the home screening of a slide or film on the kitchen wall”. The titles that he attributes to his works are similarly ritualistic. They are all made up of three figures and one word: the first figure indicates the number of the watercolour; the second and third indicate the date on which it was executed; the word always contains eleven letters.
