"Chair", Giorgos Gyparakis, 2008


"This is not a pipe", René Magritte, 1929

"Between words and objects one can create new relations and specify characteristics of language and objects ignored in everyday life"... "Sometimes the name of an object takes the place of an image. A word can take the place of an object in reality. An image can take the place of  a word in proposition"..."In a painting words are of the same cloth as images. Rather one sees images and words differently in a painting". René Magritte  (ref. "This is not a pipe", Michel Foucault, 1968)

“in girum imus nocte et consumimur igni” (“We go wandering at night and are consumed by fire”), Guy Debord, 1978
