An engraver who works by hand with machine precision and another who builds automated drawing devices to discover inaccuracies…

Around the line and the notions of repetition and variation, Edouard Cabay and Juan Escudero meet to propose a collaboration that seeks to question the usual dichotomy between the hand and the machine to explore their possible interactions.

Desdoblamiento presents a collaborative work between two artists whose practices may seem very distant—one draws by hand, the other builds and codes machines—but their approaches share plastic similarities and common themes such as, for example, the appreciation of imprecision, the fascination with repetition, the unpredictability of the result, the emergence of form, the importance of time in the drawing process…

The duality here is that of two artistic practices, one manual and the other digital, which questions the existence of this limit by seeking their overlaps rather than their differences.
