N.Lichtig, Pictures of Nothing (pencil and oil on canvas—variable sizes, sound pieces—variable lengths, gold leaf on paper/print on paper—variable sizes), 2012 — ongoing

Pictures of Nothing takes its origin in words, mostly drawn from letters in German, Czech, Hungarian and Serb. These words have first been said out loud and form sound pieces. Each word stands at the beginning of a painting. First written on the canvas it is gradually transformed, overlayerd with oil colors and diluants, until it disappears. 

In the exhibition of the Kai 10 where a space was dedicated to the series, the sound piece was to be heard once a day at a specific time.
 
The lettres from which some of the words initiating the paintings have been  covered partly with gold plates, making their reading inaccessible.
