With a young Nespolo, it seems to be in a context of pure artificiality, where aside every mimetic purpose, with violent actions and manipulations; dismemberments of images clippings of parts and their locations, free and clever combinations, no trace of a natural order, but in fact, the institution of an ostentatious of a pure artificial environment.
Yet intelligence is never alone with itself, with its forms, with its wealth of diagrams, it always needs a whimsical machine set in motion with the stimulation of an opaque nucleus, of a resistance centre, of a material concept.
