Catalogue Note
"[The artist’s] phyisical punctum—distinguished in ogives and regressions, Pythagorically managed and addressed towards creating image—rhythm by way of regular intervals or progression, fixed or variable quotas is an elemental entity, indefinitely repeatable, the generator of a differentiated infinite."
Bruno Corà, Castellani, Milan 1996, p. 23
