Nina Papaconstantinou
Mon bon ange, 2022

In this text-based work, Nina Papaconstantinou traces the spaces between the words in letters from Jean Cocteau to Jean Marais, using carbon copy imprint on transparent tracing paper. Through the layering of these tracings, the work shifts attention from the written content to what is left out or unspoken. The choice of materials contributes to a subtle, almost immaterial presence, focusing on the perception of absence rather than legible language.
