This artwork by the Italian artist Alighiero e Boetti is composed by four parts, each time showing the same image in a different colour – blue, black, red and green. In each picture the drawing is made of small vertical stripes organized in horizontal lines. An area of the paper remains white; a rectangular form as a piece of paper torn in the bottom and slightly folded on the upper right corner. Inside that form a rectangular port is drawn with the same small vertical stripes.
