Eight dancing grids were proposed by the artist during the Reading dance exhibition, in response to Bruno’s series of images Munari Ricerca Della comodità in una poltrona scomoda (In search of comfort in an uncomfortable armchair), published in 1944 in the review Domus, illustrating, with humor, the proliferation of forms of sitting and their discomfort.

These posters made from industrial metal grids directly placed on photo paper offer an optical experience, but also playful: each borrower must recreate his own puzzle hanging. The posters, at least 3, can be manipulated in all directions.
