A beam. Suspended in the void. Or placed in the air, as if the space held it. It crosses the nave of Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnains without touching it. A straight, precise, silent line. Its body is covered with colorful triangles, folded like a paper skin. A wooden origami. The whole seems solid, but everything is tension there. A shapeless form, where the idea of structure becomes fragile. This is not a volume; it is a body. Neither supportive nor ornamental. Present. Tellegen's initial graffiti has disappeared, erased by time, renovations, and urban changes. DELTA's letters, fragmented to abstraction, have left the walls. Yet they remain in relief, in movement, within the inner logic. A buried memory, shaped on freight wagons, reduced to the essential. As if the data of that time were disintegrating, never dissolving. To Boris Tellegen, graffiti is a construction. A spatial thought, a system of lines or data that have left the wall. Here, the trace becomes an axis. No more letters, but a syntax still alive. ONE BEAM preserves this remnant: a memory of the gesture, a bare tension.
