// Untitled: (Castor #1 & #2) by Claire Fontaine, a 2013 archival print, captures two thermal-like images of a cargo train in transit, displaying the containers and surrounding environment in intense hues of blue, green, yellow, and red. In the left panel, silhouetted figures appear near the train, suggesting observers or perhaps protesters, while the right panel focuses on a single container with a vivid heat signature. The thermal imaging effect draws attention to themes of surveillance, containment, and environmental or political issues associated with transporting hazardous materials. Fontaine’s diptych invites viewers to reflect on the hidden risks and societal implications of modern logistics and monitoring.
Artwork Copyright © Claire FontaineClaire Fontaine (France, 2004) is a collective feminist conceptual artist founded by Fulvia Carnevale and James Thornhill. Adopting the name of a popular French stationery brand, they declare themselves a 'readymade artist,' critiquing authorship and authority through appropriation and expropriation. Their works, including neon signs and installations, address political and social issues, such as the 'Foreigners Everywhere' series exhibited at the 2024 Venice Biennale.

What is Lettrism?
Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
