Notes: “Fou de potentiel”: Metapuncture is to pein (painting) what acupuncture is to medicine: it entails finding points within a network of lines, the "treatment" of which will be decisive. The basic method consists of superimposing two line drawings, marking all intersections, then creating a third line drawing by connecting all the dots. In this case, the parent works are two woodcuts: to the left, Hokusaï's Self-portrait; to the right, Alfred Jarry's Veritable Portrait of Monsieur Ubu.
