3.4.7., 1993

At the centre of a triptych with the drawing of a room seen in perspective a self-portrait drawn by the artist stands out, flanked by two other figures: the cut-out image of a Mercury holding the caduceus in one hand, and touching the drawing pin in the artist's eye with the other, and a reproduction of Delfo (III) (GPO-0372), half-hidden by the pinned sheet of the self-portrait. The drawing pin in the eye also coincides with the point of intersection of two diagonals outlined in red pencil (a symbolic allusion to the artist's first painting, Disegno geometrico, 1960, GPO-0001). Scattered all around it are drawings that portray the entrance hall of the artist's home represented in Delfo (III), while several rectangles outlined on the side elements of the triptych evoke other scattered "sheets". The title harkens back to a numerical combination that is implicit to the three moments of the group show devoted to the figure of Hermes Trismegistus, for whom the work was made.
