"A piece of marble. Tall, erect, and alien in its module
to the ruins of the synagogue and to the site of ancient Ostia.
On surrounding it, one discovers that cylinders were drilled
and broken in the depth of the piece. They were removed, and
then placed on the earth. 11 poles / pillars of content - mass
have been consumed. hollowed. As marks of self consumption,
a sacrifice that enabled the journey of the form. The trail
of functioning / functional roles imitates the ancient techniques
of transporting heavy architectural elements and materials,
and so resonates of a long lost allegory. A truth. A principle.
