THE LINES
drawing series, 2014

In this drawing series, simple schemes used to organize data (a time line, groupings, maps, a chromatic circle) apply the elements that codify the lines in a metro map (numbers and colors) to reorder the information of all the European capitals’ metro maps. When schematizing what has already been schemed, these systems nullify one another, giving us back nothing more than forms and colors, without function or meaning.

Metro lines of all European capitals’ organized by joining the end of each line with the beginning of the next one by numerical order.
