THE BLACK PROJECT
1988-1992 

A series of 22  "black on black" portraits printed on linen. (50 x 50 cm / 90 x 90 cm).

At first, the eye perceives only a surface that is both full and empty, uniform. Little by little, the eye adapts and distinguishes one by one of the distinctive signs of a face until it grasps it in its totality.

Note: renderings simulating the intermediate stage of the vision of two of these photographic portraits which
cannot be reproduced by photography.
