In this uniquely autobiographical screenprint by Michelangelo Pistoletto, the artist reconfigures a source image of his father, Ettore P. Olivero, in three different compositions. While distinct from his signature mirror works, this graphic exercise involves a similar sense of reflexivity, exercised on a more personal level. In delicate script statements like "I am the third," "self-portrait through my father," "55 years inside the mirror," and "I am the bridge" appear surface, invoking notions legacy and familial identity.
