Untitled (OPE) is an austere pile of A4 photocopies lying on the floor, unmarked. Three large black letters stand out on the white paper: OPE. The incomplete word offers itself as an enigma, the fragment of a text that we will not know. It is in fact an element of reality transformed by the artist, an extract of a text that he gives us to see in written form rather than in photography, to preserve its mystery. Allowing all interpretations, it allows us to project onto it what we have in mind: an amputated hope (HOPE), an abbreviated car brand (OPEL), or, echoing the term of architecture (OPE), a hole in a structure destined to receive a supporting element. An open object, then.
