Some artworks are best viewed by taking many steps backward

Seemingly random curves painted onto the walls and roofs of houses in the Swiss town of Vercorin only assume an actual shape when viewed from a certain location and distance.

Now, in Cercle et suite d’éclats, Varini has taken on the challenge of working at the scale of the village, superimposing perfect circles on the town of Vercorin in the Swiss Alps. From inside the village, the graphic is fragmented and impossible to read, but from a nearby vantage point, the lines come together to form a series of rings.
