In 1966, after the flooding of the Arno River catastrophically flooded the city of Florence, much of the historic murals housed there had to be dismantled to facilitate their restoration. This led to the discovery of some preparatory drawings that had not been seen for centuries, when the artists covered them over to paint the final work.
Exhibited at the Met Museum, these abstract diagrams had a profound impact on Sol LeWitt, who, perceiving in them the elementary coordinates for creating the final composition, developed The Location of Six Geometric Figures, a series of instructions that, when followed, allowed him to trace the shape and exact position of different geometric figures.
Inspired by both this anecdote and the exercise proposed by LeWitt, Sandra Nakamura (Lima, 1981) has created an electroacoustic installation with the aim of adding sound to the invisible processes behind the production of a work of art.
