Catalogue Note
"Soul, body and shadow however are inseparable, there will be no soul without body, no body without shadow. The visible, invisible and fleeting, to tell how and where they meet, this is the sculptor's task." Jean Frémon in Exh. Cat., Paris, Galerie Lelong, Jaume Plensa: une âme, deux corps... trois ombres, 2006, p. 3
