The series of drawings with iron filings by Nicolas Daubanes is inspired by Goya's Disasters of War and Piranesi's Imaginary Prisons, but also by the theories on surveillance societies described by Michel Foucault and the panoptic model of the brothers Jeremy and Samuel Bentham. Between the hardness of the metal and the lightness of the dust, one can both understand the possibility of escape –the iron filings as a remnant of the bars sawn by the jail escapee– and the inexorable passage of time and its destructive effects on matter and memory.
