I visit the posthumous retrospective ‘Robert Rauschenberg’ at Tate Modern, London. 


Rauschenberg's work, his combinations of found objects & found footage

Drawing on my collection of film and digital photos, I start combining.


There is no end to it, it is limitless; it may become dangerous.

My final goal is to illustrate La Divina Commedia Inferno by Dante Alighieri in this Veridica-style.
