This corner piece brings volume to otherwise flat things. The sheet of steel is bent and is now on the three axes, the paper words are piled to create volume, and the book, sawed in half is now perceived as a sculptural object. In addition to the idea of having words as a material object, they are also mixed to create new meanings. The genius gesture of “Obra Maestra” is that the author writes as someone else: can be a security guard, a museum curator, or the artist himself (and by the end, as the author, himself), being difficult to point who said what. As an open book, the work open in two parts has a copy of the signature of Juan Tallón, again complexifying authorship relations.
