7 etchings on copper plate, Sommerset laid paper 300 gram, each hand signed, numbered and dated by the artist. // Symmetrical Jails by Luis Camnitzer is a series of seven etchings that explore themes of confinement and symmetry. Each etching presents intricate, mirrored linework that resembles architectural or cage-like structures, suggestive of jails or enclosures. The symmetrical designs create a sense of repetition and order, contrasting with the underlying theme of entrapment. Rendered on Sommerset laid paper with a 300-gram weight, the crisp black lines against the white background emphasize precision and control. This limited edition series of 18 is hand-signed, numbered, and dated by Camnitzer, highlighting his conceptual approach to social and political commentary through minimalist forms.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
