Description
León Ferrari
First Letter to the Pope
-
The work transforms a handwritten letter into a highly dense visual surface. Words, spirals, crossings-out, and shifts of scale overlap until writing and drawing become inseparable.
The visible text refers to a letter dated in Buenos Aires on December 24, 1997 and addressed to John Paul II. Ferrari turns that written material into an image in which language, critique, and calligraphy operate at once.
