n.645 Heureux les hommes

This engraving was made in 2012 for the Heureux les Hommes edition (fragment of the drama Antigone of Sophocles). The proposed art work is part of a small suite of 16 copies printed in the 3rd state (the copper plate has undergone further evolution). It is a procession of gods and men in an imaginary urban landscape; a procession that advances slowly, without anyone knowing where it is coming from or where it is going. In an atmosphere of solemnity, we witness a theatrical performance.
