About the Item

Obsessive, meticulous, almost monastic, Kramer immerses us in a universe of graphic and sculptural repetitions. His drawings on kraft paper glued with rabbit glue recall both ancient codices and tanned hides. In them, numbers, faces, and symbols are repeated hundreds of times, generating an overwhelming visual rhythm. Added to this are his sculptures of dictionaries altered word by word until they become egg-shaped structures: symbols of origin, contained knowledge, and untapped potential. In another series, Peter uses cotton knots, an ancient technique with which he constructs pieces of structural tension and tactile sensitivity. His work is reminiscent of Hanne Darboven's for its obsessive component and Eva Hesse's for its soft material and intimate gesture. It is a work that forces the viewer to pause, to look closely, to inhabit the time of manual labor. The work measures 145 x 110 cm. In total, there are more than thousands of numbers, hand-drawn with India ink on paper. The work is part of the exhibition "The future will be prehistoric" at the Manolo Eirin Gallery.
