In place

One object is susceptible to many representations which are different one from the other: if, on one side, these have the task of analysing the space of the referent in its forms and structures, on the other they produce images which allow to establish a relationship of cause and effect between the drawer and the user of the image. The representation, of the object, replaces it. It allows the observer of the image to be in the presence of the object, but without the object. It is the visual surrogate of the experience which is made clear through the Methods of Representation. We are called to make a mindful but also unbiased use of each method, making them topical, in order to produce images more suited to contemporary visions. This process is implemented and resolved in the identification of points, lines and surfaces, of their mutual relations and reciprocal intersections which the action of representing allows to define in the geometric-projective space: there is a formula for each line, straight or curved, for each figure, for each surface; there is an infinitely complicated formula, or perhaps concealed in its simplicity, which describes the motion of a point that describes a line which draws a figure that generates a surface.
