Untitled

About this work

This is a simple, white rectangle with bold black text that reads *Dolce Vita Activa*. The words are uneven—some letters are slightly bigger or smaller, like they were stamped by hand. On the left side, there’s a narrow strip of dark fabric glued on, almost like a bookmark or a book’s spine. The edges look rough, and the whole thing sits flat against a plain background. The title isn’t actually *Dolce Vita Activa*—that’s just the text on the cover. The real name of this piece is *Untitled*, and it’s made from a book cover with printed words and a stamped adhesive binding. It’s not a painting but an object, more like something you’d find on a shelf than on a wall. If you like this, check out Rosemarie Trockel.
