Full Size Drawings

Dear Ni Ni , we were really intrigued by your full size print of a wall in the AA . You claimed  it was concerning an architectural element , a cornice . For LAWuN  this black and white image  recalls Joseph Kosuth’s One and Three Chairs 1965 ? Does it here resonate in a more complex way .. more than Word-Image -Object ,since within  the canon of architectural  design  the scale of a drawing (map) is Important .For now ..Word-image-object-scale?If we claim an architectural plan to be a map ,  then we are reminded of Jorge Luis Borges’s  one paragraph short story  ‘On Exactitude in Science’, where he imagines a country  where its maps have to be full size , at the same scale as the land  itself , a scale of a mile to a mile. 
However the drawing on a computer screen has no scale , it is a fluid  continuously resized  map  In this case the real  kitchen wall is compressed inside the camera then decompressed in the printer ,  to be reborn full size..Imagine  if this picture of the kitchen wall at the size of the wall  was placed back on the wall ,then it would serve no use , but  imagine  it means we can metaphorically repurpose the wall in another location , by relocating  this image to another wall elsewhere.To be continued ..?AALAWuiN .
