A solo exhibition of the artist’s work was held in the space of the Salvatore Ala gallery in Milan on February 11, 1982. The show included the work 11 febbraio 1982, composed of two parts: an iron tripod placed in the room, and a circular canvas on the wall. The tripod, formed by the three-dimensional development of the artwork on aluminum L’osservatore si sposta osservandosi produced one year earlier, supports a gold sheet shaped into a form that suggests a Möbius strip . . . . The height of the sculpture was calculated on the basis of the height of the artist’s vantage point, underscoring the status of an “archetype of the gaze” attributed to the work . . . . A circular canvas prepared in white is placed on the wall, overlaid by an elliptical canvas tangent to the upper part of the circle, treated with wax colors: a pale blue that shades into a pink fleshtone. Also shown on the invitation to the exhibition, the work represents one of the phases of the artist’s reflections on the figure of the circle, which began in this moment. In this case the circle, which symbolically represents centrality and alignment thanks to the presence of a single focal point at its center, is internally “doubled” in an ellipse, a form that instead is based on the coexistence of two foci. The result is an “inner image.”
