Akira 3

A tribute to Katsuhiro Otomo.

This publication comprises of scanned fragments from Ciprian Mureșan's Untitled (Akira, Volume 3, 282 pages on one paper) palimpsest drawing. The full-bleed scans, together, reproduce the entire work in one single volume which draws on the original comic book format.

Never employed as an instrument for direct notation, for Ciprian Mureșan (*1977 in Dej) drawing functions in equations that envelop this mode of production in a reflection on visibility and loss, on historical suspension, and ways in which the past is retrieved.
