Summary/Abstract: This article attempts to analyze two Daniel Buren’s artworks highlighting their intrinsic relations with urban space in order to show up, through meticulous research of the mise-en-scènes established by conglomerates of each artwork itself and urban surroundings, their basic presumptions relating to the spatio-cultural structure of the city. The author inquires about the urban ontology which underlies the Buren’s discursive postulate of activation of the eventness of place by his artistic interventions. From the investigation of the visual performance of Buren’s artworks arises also the issue of the function of the pictorial surface in relation to the three-dimensionality of the urban.
