The textual reference of the title functions as a kind of third term for the installation as a whole. There is in this work something of the intimacy of books: the material and atmospheric presence of (a) text. We find a drip or a tear, for instance, that breaks the frame in his photograph of an Yves Klein catalogue, so as to perhaps spring a leak in the subject.
Taking the appearance of an Ellsworth Kelly or even an inkjet print, deconstructed and parsed into its pure values, the colors in MK, PK, LK, LLK, C, M, LC, LM, Y remain representations of the printer's palette. Frantz commands his printer to print each cartridge-color fully aware that it will mix several, if not all of the inks at the machine's disposal, to print the very colors contained in each cartridge. As such, each color contains the trace of all the others. It is just another image.
