Unique piece, and authenticated

The artist’s proof is part of a large project on which the artist works for the creation of a
piano in which the traditional reference points for the player (the alternation between
black and white keys) disappear. The keyboards come from disassembled vertical
pianos dating back to the late 1800s – early 1900s, materials with which the artist
constantly works. The spaces between the keys are reduced to a minimum, the keyboard
appears as a perfect solid, a mute but sonorous monoblock. Again, the sound is
constantly evoked.
