Catalogue Note
"Now in space there is no longer any measurement...The sense of measurement and of time no longer exists...and so, here is the void, man is reduced to nothing...And my art too is all based on this purity, on this philosophy of nothing, which is not a destructive nothing, but a creative nothing."
