Campo di Marte was conceived in March 2020, at a time Nathalie Du Pasquier was not painting. After cutting out photos of paintings produced between the 1980s and 2020, the French artist arranged them in a sequence as if they were a series of typefaces, focusing solely on their formal qualities and the scope for interpretation offered by their assembly. The result is an enchanting game of nonsense - an everyday surrealism in which the images form sentences of sorts, interwoven with various elements from the world of books: titles, poems, or mere calculations - moments the artist was lost for words. Campo di Marte will also be the title of an exhibition, curated by Luca Lo Pinto, scheduled to be held at MACRO in Rome at the end of 2020. As Du Pasquier states: "The book was supposed to be released at the same time as the exhibition opening. That won't be the case, but it doesn't matter as they really are two separate things. This paperback is not a catalogue at all - it's something you can browse through even while sitting on the underground."
