Summary
Law relies on visualization as the positive legislative text represents merely an approximation. Through images, objects and signs the law escapes a tautology, as it reaches cultural and social actions only by materialization. The research project at the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence analyzes the form of artifacts used in the field of law, to delineate their agency.
