a series of prints are made from overprinting monochromes of Cyan ink for up to five hours on the same surface; as a result, the paper is covered with a thick velvety accumulation of pigment, as well as artefacts of the printing process, such as horizontal striations, and lighter vertical lines that mark the path of the printer head, like tire tracks. Their composite character is revealed at the edges of the print due to slightly imprecise registrations between sequential lay-ers. In this work, Aoun foregrounds the vibrancy of matter as an antidote against the digital de-materialisation of everyday images. Each print is titled with the colour of the ink used and the ex-act duration of printing, for example, Cyan, 4 Hours and 42 minutes.
