The holes are a map. The perforation pattern encodes the urban grid of Vercelli — a city, flattened, abstracted, punched through a sheet of material, made to hold pencils. The spaces between streets become the spaces between holes. The object performs two acts simultaneously and announces neither. It organizes. It commemorates.
