The Punto Cieco poster brings together, within the reach of a single gaze, the masks used in Eyes Wide Shut and recreated in Venetian workshops specifically for the project.
Originally conceived as a working tool to catalogue the various mask models and to guide their association with photographic poses, the poster gradually evolved into a fully realised graphic work. Its graphic design draws inspiration from the didactic plates widely circulated in Europe between the late nineteenth and the mid-twentieth century.
Known as Classification Plates, these posters were used in schools and natural history museums to organise and describe animals, plants, or technical instruments through images, combining scientific intent and a strong aesthetic sensibility. Beyond their practical function of illustration and categorisation, they reveal a refined compositional awareness, in which layout, symmetry, and visual rhythm all stem from a careful and sophisticated graphic design.
The Punto Cieco poster revisits this classificatory tradition and reinterprets it through a contemporary lens.
The work is available in two formats—50 × 71.5 cm and 70 × 100 cm—and in two colour variants, green and grey, on 100% cotton Canson Infinity Platine Fibre Rag 310 g/m² paper. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist.
