Christian Erroi

Statement:
Digit. Through imaginary connections, a tablet permits the opening of new worlds. Like a simple figure of speech, images turn into reality and back again. Pointing a digit indicates a thought process. Vija Celmins painted small antique chalkboards, the places where one builds up worlds from the simplest of manual markings. What works on these erasable boards is the same set of laws that rule the mysteries of the universe. The building blocks here are traces, fingerprints, debris, beauty, and imperfection that all turn into a palimpsest of schemes and moving thoughts, where a trace (fingerprint) corrects a previous approximated earlier one. The dark matter here is the subject: so mysterious as to be pliable, and so ever-expanding that it may be eternal.
