In this video, artist Giorgio Griffa talks about his understanding of the concepts of traces and fragments, of memory and knowledge. Every fragment is a trace, but not every trace is a fragment. Works of art, music and poetry are traces of human history and carriers of collective memory. With E.A.T. curator Hans Ulrich Obrist Griffa discusses the significance of mathematics and poetry for his artistic practice.
“Every fragment is a trace, but not every trace is a fragment.”
— Giorgio Griffa
