Untitled # 22 (High Plains Drifter) (1993) is a long term installation in Piazza Santa Giulia 5.

Conceived as a parody on Niele Toroni's brush stroke works, Nelson's concept was that his practice exists only as the painting of a given room red, not through his relationship with colour or abstraction but through his obsession with “High Plains Drifter”, a Clint Eastwood western from 1973 in which the small American town of Lago becomes a metaphor of life in Hell as the inhabitants are forced to literally paint the town red.

The work parodies what was itself a parody, as Eastwood directs himself in the part of the avenging loner in a direct reference back to his character within the Leone trilogy from the 60!s. Following the artist!s precise instructions, a room is painted in a specific tone of red, all objects, litter and dust are included as a temporal crystallization and jump into a displaced realm.
