Perfect - A Project by Kimiko Yoshida

Event organised by Palazzo Contarini Polignac

In this series of photographic self-portraits, the face of the artist Kimiko Yoshida disappears behind a blown-glass letter made on Murano by Pino Signoretto, to the exact dimensions of the artist's face.

The photographic print of each letter is made at actual scale (1:1 scale), i.e., a 28 x 28 cm square.
The blown glass letters form Latin phrases or English words:

- PERFECT (7 letters)
- IN ABSENTIA (10 letters)
- A, E, I, O, U : Rimbaud’s vowels
- GOD/GOLD (4 letters)
- PULVIS, CINIS ET NIHIL (’’Dust, ashes and nothing”, epitaph of Cardinal Barberini: 18 letters)
- MEMENTO MORI (subject to availability)
- SIC TRANSIT (subject to availability)
- Series of commas
