"Alfabeto, installed as a kind of manifesto at the building's entrance. While the artist himself worked the leaves of lead, tin, copper, silver, and gold, in which the incisions, folds and bends are the fruit of a manual labour resulting in a variety of geometries, the elaboration of the mercury in a glass tube and the weaving of iron wire into a circle were tasks requiring the hands of careful, sensitive specialists. The coming together of every one of his different working groups, devoted to the seven metals, defines the work as a possible foundation, an alphabet of a vast range of different derivations."
