The Untitled (no ctrl) series uses as material the keys of a computer keyboard positioned to compose heteroliteral words, i.e. composed of letters that are all different from each other.
The choice of terms is conditioned by a single keyboard for each composition, therefore limited to a single character, and, as in a database, the serial works compose a taxonomy of combinations and terms that tell of one of the essential needs of the human being: to inform oneself and ask questions. The keyboard, deprived of its original function of transmitting and encoding messages, becomes itself a writing device, becomes a symbol of the power of words to describe and redefine reality.
The series of photographic works consists of real keys, while the sculptures in the form of bas-reliefs recall the sculptural material of the artistic tradition, bronze, and in the lead version the mobile typographic characters.
