Structuralist & Locative

It is a locative Artwork because the caves preserve its material and physical properties through time. The situation inside of the caves selected to paint are usually dificult to acces. In some cases the animals were painted only on the same place on the same wall so it seems that the location was very important.
This paintings followed a complex set of rules that are not possible to know in 2010 in written or abstracted terms because writing did not exist when these artworks were made.

Intituitively we know there is a structure in the complexity of those artworks. Something that moved the artist to create them. In order to become something an artwork has an inherent structure. In this case it does not operate in an semniotic domain. It shows it is possible to create structures without linguistical, material or thought interrelations and that autonomous and structured systems are possible out of these interrelational systems.
