The series Lignes au hasard [Random Lines] follows the principle of the old naval battle game. On a square subdivided this time into one hundred equal parts, numbered “00” to “99,” two digits indicate the starting point of a line, the next two its ending point. Random numbers from the same phone directory provided coordinates for the location of lines. Eager to clarify the exact method of construction, Morellet provided for each of these 10 lignes au hasard, which were published together in 1975, a photocopy of the preparatory drawing as well as of the page from the phonebook with the numbers that had provided the coordinates of the position of each line. The mysterious intercrossing is made available to be read as well as viewed, revealing a system as simple as it is playful.
