Lot Essay

'A bit like Duchamp's concept of a place for instantaneous coincidences, an infinitesimal cut in space, an area where conventional norms do not apply [...] I am thinking of your Objetos Semanticos (Semantic Objects) series, where the connection between title and image points towards other ways of apprehending reality'
(Enguita, quoted in P. Herkenhoff, G. Mosquera and D. Cameron (eds.), Cildo Meireles, London 1999, p. 140).
