LEI/REI - gold, 2016. Digital image, variable dimension.

​

LEI/REI had its first version in the year 2000, a single black print of the vertical mirroring of the word lei, where you can read rei. What is produced is a rectilinear labyrinthine pattern, the cutting silences of the law represent well-defined paths and geometric voids. In 2016, this image returned to my field of reference, mainly from the political and legal issues that upset the country.
King and letter, as expressed by Agamben (2004, 108), are closely linked and involved in two conjugated and opposing tensions: one that goes from the norm to anomie and the other that, from anomie, leads to law and rule (2004, 111). ). The author also demonstrates that the law, in the figure of the State, foresees its own rupture characterized by the state of exception.
