After participating in a séance, Canavero worked on automatic writing of philosophical messages as dictated by supernatural beings, then on automatic drawing, which the artist created every day in a state of deep concentration. Geometrical shapes, perfectly drawn in quick freehand, are punctuated by simple symbols and combined in a story that can allude to microcosms and macrocosms alike.
