January 31, 2014 by Fosco Lucarelli 2 Comments

In this second series of Héliographias (see previous post), the plan view drawings by Léon Ferrari  lose every connection with pseudo-architectural representations and become completely surreal scenes.

What remains are neverending iterations, homogeneous textures and geometric patterns of people and cars.
