Usually it’s an abstract, imaginary concept and sometimes, it’s right in front of us with concrete rules a card or a pawn. The best example to abstract play is Stefan Zweig’s novel “Chess”. In the novel, a prisoner escapes insanity by creating an image of a chess play on the ceiling and playing chess against himself.  We can reach very complex forms by joining the most primitive forms, this is exactly where art steps in. Art, as an endless play that reflects the infinity of our imagination, possesses a diversity that can surprise the audience forever. Sabrina Fresko
