Repetition as structure

The Code of Sisyphus I is structured around iterative action.

Each element results from a process that does not aim at completion. The work develops through repetition, where continuity replaces resolution.

The system is based on persistence rather than outcome.

The book-like version is presented as two slabs hinged or placed side by side, like an open book. Its codex-like form creates a personal encounter, inviting reading as a ritual gesture, a book of imprints where absence becomes presence.
