Curated by Alex Radu & Thomas Zitzwitz

In "Deconstructed Square" (2016), the artist has sliced and reassembled a square into new foldings repeatedly. Her movements follow the same sequence every time, realising a principle that is important to Zitzwitz, too, namely the principle of difference and repetition on which the fold as a (metaphysical) principle of order, or rather disorder, is founded, as Leibniz and Deleuze showed.
