Condensing substance ("infinite painting")


Every day since 2006 the same colour that is spread on a canvas and in the diary is also deposited on the “Infinite painting”. Each subsequent layer cancels out the previous colour.  The colour is a substance with a certain consistency. Numerous micro layers of paint spread on a two-dimensional surface create a three-dimensional object. The painting thickens and broadens over time. A substance that accumulates, that takes up space, that weighs, that clutters. Over time lots of colours and lots of layers as a whole come to constitute a single body, a single substance-colour.
