Pica installs two colored stage lights on a common stand, so that they project overlapping circles of light. On an accompanying caption, Pica explains that the use of Venn diagrams was banned from grade schools during the Argentinian dictatorship in the 1970s: such mapping of the relations of inclusion and exclusion might encourage subversive thought. In the relay Pica sets up between object, image, and text, she seems to be asking, How does form take on meaning? And what meanings do we project onto forms?
