0.05 ink pen on paper and Oedipus the King by Sophocles (English) (30,5cm x 26,5cm)
The impossible shape of Oscar Reutersvärd here refers to the absurdity of this tragedy and the misleading route taken by Oedipus. By wanting to get away from Corinth to avoid his mother and father, Oedipus has actually rejoined his true parents. Once at Thebes, he investigates the murderer of Laius, only to realize that he himself is the one that he’s after.
