“Paper formats are the standards that define the size of the paper commonly used by the industry.
The underlying idea of the format is to make the most of the paper so that as little as possible is wasted.
The manufactured sheet measures one square meter, and the proportion between its sides is such that, when cut in half along its length, each half maintains the same ratio between its sides as the original sheet.
The format is calling to me, but I no longer hear, see, or react.
Something like the phone answering in silence.
I only see things and materials; I find them while walking.
Like wallpaper, rings, plaster, an antenna, glasses, pencils, trays, a dish rack, pieces of wood, images.
I live the discovery and fascination of encountering them.
Someone has programmed this grid of nothingness.
I do not want to fill the void with noise, the silence of the materials.
I do not want to betray it with words.
Industry is doing everything.
Without hands, with the hands of men.”
