Matt MullicanThe meaning of things, who feels the most pain?

Matt Mullican (born 1951 in Santa Monica, lives and works in New York) develops coherent systems of signs that he explores and reinvests through actions under hypnosis, in constant back-and-forth between reality and its schematization, between fiction and its physical reality. This book presents his 2014 work The Meaning of Things – Who Feels the most Pain? Consisting of 676 texts and collages of images taken from the internet, numbered and decorated with arabesques ; this series develops a narrative of interests, practices and collective representations that suggest and disavow each other.
