"The vast majority of my work is fixed in situ. What most closely resembles the movement of a camera, then, is that of visitors and spectators. It is therefore difficult to see one of my works without moving. There are hundreds if not thousands of viewpoints, but it's up to the visitor to explore them."
Conceptual artist and "anti-capitalist" Daniel Buren seeks only to show and highlight space. Rejecting the pictorial trace as subjective message and illusion, in 1966 the artist set out a radical methodology, visual tools that were to remain the same: vertical bands 8.7 cm wide in two alternating tones: white and another color. Since then, he has repeated his stripes endlessly on all media. These alternating bands, which he calls "visual tools", allow him to reveal the significant particularities of the place in which he works, deploying them in specific and sometimes complex formats, between painting, sculpture, and architecture.
