'An artist who looks out of the corner of his eye / An artist who looks out of the corner of his eye and also eavesdrops / An artist who looks out of the corner of his eye and makes comments in passing so that everyone else will hear / A mean-spirited artist / A dark-energied artist / A dark-energied who has power / A dark-energied artist who has power and distributes it among other dark-energied artists.' Argentinian artist Malena Pizanis series of more than 1,400 laconic statements describe an artist in the process of being defined; suspended between action and inaction, hope and futility, between their view of themselves and through the gaze of others."
